A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, Vol. II.
Scrivener, Frederick Henry Ambrose
Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.
77. Corpus Chr. Coll. CCLXXXVI Evan. Gospels [vii], formerly
belonging to the monastery of St. Augustine at Canterbury, and
alleged to have been sent by Pope Gregory to Augustine. They
contain an interesting text, the first hand being corrected
throughout in accordance with a MS. of the type of the Codex
Amiatinus. _See_ Westwood, Anglo-Sax. and Ir. MSS., pp. 49, 50;
Pal. Sacra Pict., pl. 11. 1-4; Palaeogr. Soc., i. pl. 33, 34, 44.
Collated by the Rev. A. W. Streane. Bentley’s B; Wordsworth’s X.
_Dublin._
78. Trinity College A. 1. 6. Gospels [vii or viii], commonly known
as the Book of Kells; given to Trinity College, Dublin, by
Archbishop Ussher. This MS. is principally known as being perhaps
the most perfect specimen of Irish writing and illumination in
existence, but it also contains a valuable text, though marked
with the characteristics of the Irish family. A collation is given
by Dr. Abbott in his edition of the Codex Usserianus, or _r_1
(_see_ p. 50). Facsimiles in Palaeogr. Soc., i. pl. 55-8, 88, 89;
Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS. pp. 25-33, pl. 8-11, and Pal. Sacra
Pict., pl. 16, 17; also National MSS. of Ireland, i. pp. x-xii,
pl. vii-xvii. Wordsworth’s Q.
79. Trinity Coll. A. 4. 5. The Book of Durrow. Gospels [end of
vi], 8vo, semi-uncial, the text is allied to Amiatinus; cited by
Bp. Wordsworth as _durmach_. According to an inscription on what
was the last page, the MS. was written by St. Columba himself in
the space of twelve days; the inscription however, like the rest
of the book, is probably copied from an earlier exemplar. A
collation of this MS. is given by Professor Abbott in his edition
of _r_1 (_see_ p. 50); _see_ also his article “On the colophon of
the Book of Durrow” (Dublin Hermathena, 1891, p. 199).
80. Trin. Coll. The Book of Moling. Gospels [viii or ix], small
4to, much the same size, writing, and ornamentation as the Gospels
of Macdurnan (_see_ 84); but so defaced by damp as to be quite
illegible in parts.
81. Royal Irish Academy. The Stowe St. John, formerly in the
Ashburnham Library; originally belonging to a Church in Munster.
Irish handwriting and text. _See_ Berger, p. 42.
_Durham._
82. Cathedral Library, A. ii. 16. Gospels [vii or viii], 134
leaves; said to have been written by Bede, and may very possibly
have come from the monastery at Jarrow; _mut._ in parts; text
allied to the Cod. Amiatinus. Cited by Bentley as K, by Wordsworth
(who makes use of it only in St. John) as Δ.
83. Cathedral Library, A. ii. 17. St. John, St. Mark, and St. Luke
[prob. viii], with another fragment of St. Luke xxi. 33-xxiii. 34.
_See_ Westwood, A.-S. and Ir. MSS., p. 47; Bentley’s [xi], but to
be distinguished from his [xi] in Trin. Coll. Camb. B. 17. 5,
which is St. Chad’s book at Lichfield (_see_ no. 85).
_Lambeth._
