_v._ FRAGMENTUM VINDOBONENSE [vii], at Vienna, where it is bound
up at the beginning of a volume numbered Lat. 502 and entitled
“Pactus legis Ripuariae;” it contains John xix. 27-xx. 11, but the
writing is much faded. Transcribed by the Bishop of Salisbury and
the Rev. H. J. White in 1887, and published in Old Latin Bibl.
Texts, vol. iii.
_aur._ CODEX AUREUS or HOLMIENSIS, in the Royal Library at
Stockholm; Gospels [vii or viii], 195 leaves, complete with the
exception of one leaf, which contained Luke xxi. 8-30. According
to an inscription in Old English on the title-page, the book was
purchased by Alfred the Alderman from the pagans [Danes?] when
Alfred was king and Ethelred archbishop (A.D. 871-89), for the use
of Christ Church, Canterbury. It afterwards found its way to
Madrid, where Sparvenfeldt bought it in 1690 from the Library of
the Marquis de Liche. Edited, with facsimiles, by Belsheim
(Christiania, 1878), who classes it as Old Latin; but it is really
a Vulgate text, though with a certain admixture of Old Latin
readings. Hort’s _holm_. (Introd., Notes, p. 5).
_a_2. FRAGMENTA CURIENSIA [v or vi], formerly preserved amongst
the Episcopal archives at Chur or Coire, now placed in the
Reatisches Museum of the same city. M. Batiffol was the first to
suggest that these fragments belonged to the same MS. as _n_; and
though this view was combated at first by Mr. White, it was
reasserted strongly by Dr. Corssen (Göttingsche gel. Anzeigen,
1889, p. 316), and further examination has shown that it is
correct. The fragments contain Luke xi. 11-29; xiii. 16-34; they
were first discovered by Professor Hidber, of Berne, then
described by Professor E. Ranke in the “Theol. Studien u.
Kritiken,” 1872, pp. 505-520, and afterwards edited by him in
full, Curiensia Ev. Lucani Fragmenta Latiua (Vienna, 1874).
δ. CODEX SANGALLENSIS, the interlinear Latin of Cod. Δ, stands
remarkable especially for its alternative renderings of the Greek,
such as ’uxorem uel coniugem’ for τὴν γυναῖκα Matt. i. 20, and in
almost every verse. How far the Latin text of these MSS. is
independent, and how far it is a mere reproduction of the Greek,
or whether the Greek has in turn been influenced by the Latin, is
one of those elaborate and obscure problems which are still very
far from solution. The reader is referred to Prof. J. Rendel
Harris’ work, The Codex Sangallensis (Cambridge, 1891), for an
interesting discussion of these alternative readings.
_In the Acts_ we have Codd. _d m_ as in the Gospels; _e_ the Latin
version of Cod. E (Laudianus) of the Acts, and also:—
