A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. II.
Scrivener, Frederick Henry Ambrose
Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
38. Cathedral Library, 15. Fragments of Bible [vii], palimpsest;
40 leaves, semi-uncial, under some writing in a Visigothic hand of
the tenth century. Contains in New Test. portions of Acts, 2 Cor.,
Col., and 1 John. Vulgate base but with Old Latin elements,
especially in 1 John. Discovered by Dr. Rudolf Beer, who is
proposing to publish the fragments. _See_ Berger, p. 8.
39. Cathedral Library, 6. Second volume of a Bible [x], formerly
belonging to the Convent of SS. Cosmas and Damian in the Valle de
Torio, and thought to date from the time of Ordogno II (913-923);
written by two scribes, Vimara, a presbyter, and John, a deacon;
minuscule, like Cavensis, only larger. Order of books in the New
Test. is Ev. (followed by a commentary), Act., Paul. (including
Laod.), Cath., Apoc.; examined by Bp. Wordsworth in 1882. _See_
Berger, p. 17.
40. Church of San Isidro; Codex Gothicus Legionensis. Bible [x],
folio, dated 998 of the Spanish era, i.e. 960 A.D.; minuscule of
the same type as Cavensis, only larger. Order of books in the New
Test.: Ev., Paul., Cath., Act., Apoc. Written “a notario Sanctioni
presbitero,” and was collated on behalf of the Sixtine revision of
the Vulgate for Card. Carafa, and by him called the Codex
Gothicus; this collation is preserved in the Vatican, Lat. 4859.
Examined by Bp. Wordsworth in 1882. _See_ Berger, p. 18.
_Madrid._
41. National Library. Bible [x? Berger would date it viii], in
three columns, the famous “Codex Toletanus.” According to a notice
in the MS. itself, its “auctor possessorque” (auctor = legal
owner?), Servandus of Seville, gave it to his friend John, Bishop
of Cordova, who in turn offered it in the year 988 to the see of
Seville; thence it passed in time to Toledo and ultimately to
Madrid. It is written in Visigothic characters, and presents the
Spanish type of text, strongly resembling the Cod. Cavensis (no.
28). Collated for the Sixtine revision by Chr. Palomares, whose
work, written in a Hentenian Bible of 1569, is now preserved in
the Vatican (Lat. 9508); it was not, however, used in that
revision, as it reached Cardinal Carafa too late. Bianchini
published the collation in his “Vindiciae Can. Script.,” Rome,
1740, pp. xlvii-ccxvi (= Migne, Patr. Lat., tom. xxix). Bp.
Wordsworth collated the New Testament in 1882. _See_ Berger, p.
12; Merino, Escuela Paleogr., pl. v. pp. 53-9, Madrid, 1780; Muñoz
y Rivero, Paleografia Visigoda, pl. viii, ix, Madrid, 1881; Ewald
and Loewe, Exempla Scr. Visig., pp. 7, 8, pl. ix. Tischendorf’s
_tol._; Wordsworth’s T.
