_m._ This letter indicates the readings extracted by Mai from the
“Liber de divinis scripturis sive speculum,” ascribed to St.
Augustine, and containing extracts from the whole N. T. except
Philemon, Hebrews, and 3 John; it also has a citation from the
Epistle to the Laodiceans. It resembles the “Testimonia” of
Cyprian (and indeed one MS. has the subscription _explicit
testimoniorum_) in that it consists of extracts from both
Testaments, arranged in chapters under various heads. This
treatise was published by Mai, first in the “Spicilegium Romanum,”
1843, vol. ix. part ii. 1-88, and again in the “Nova Patrum
Bibliotheca,” Rome, 1852, vol. i. part ii. 1-117; and Wiseman had
drawn attention to it in his celebrated “Two Letters” (_see_ p.
43), because it contains 1 John v. 7 in two different places. Mai
had published it from the Sessorian MS. (no. 58) of the eighth or
ninth century, so called from the library of Sta. Croce in
Gerusalemme (Bibliotheca Sessoriana) at Rome, in which it is
preserved (see Reifferscheid, Bibl. Patr. Italica, ii. p. 129); he
furnished a facsimile. Recently the treatise has been excellently
edited by Dr. F. Weihrich in the Vienna “Corpus script. eccl.
lat.,” vol. xii (Vienna, 1887), from six MSS.; one of these is the
Codex Floriacensis (Libri MS. 16, now in the Bibl. Nat. at Paris,
Nouv. acq. lat. 1596), the readings of which are occasionally
cited by Sabatier under the name of _floriac_. (_see_ Weihrich, p.
xl, and L. Delisle, Cat. des MSS. des fonds Libri et Barrois,
1888, p. 25 and pl. iv. 1; also Palaeographical Soc., series ii.
pl. 34).
_n._ FRAGMENTA SANGALLENSIA [v or vi], in the Stiftsbibliothek at
St. Gall, to which Library they have probably belonged from its
foundation. The fragments are bound up in a large book numbered
1394, and entitled “Veterum fragmentorum manuscriptis codicibus
detractorum Collectio;” they contain Matt. xvii. 1-xviii. 20; xix.
20-xxi. 3; xxvi. 56-60; 69-74; xxvii. 62-xxviii. 3; 8-20; Mark
vii. 13-31; viii. 32-ix. 10; xiii: 2-20; xv. 22-xvi. 13; to this
must be added a whole leaf containing John xix. 28-42, and a slip
containing portions of John xix. 13-27, which are in the
Stadtbibliothek of the same city, bound up in a MS. numbered 70
and entitled “Casus monasterii Sancti Galli;” and the conjecture
of the Abbé Batiffol and Dr. P. Corssen is undoubtedly right that
the fragment from St. Luke known as _a_2 (see below) is also a
part of this MS.
