O^{a-h}. Psalters, in which are found, after the Psalms among the poetic
selections from the Bible, the Magnificat, the Benedictus, and the Nunc
Dimittis from the first and second chapters of Luke’s Gospel. O^c is a
Greek Psalter of the sixth century written in Latin characters and is at
Verona. O^d is a purple Psalter of the seventh century at Zurich. O^e at
St. Gall is a Psalter of the ninth century, written partly in Latin and
partly in Greek.
P and Q. Two palimpsests at Wolfenbüttel, the former belonging to the
sixth and the latter to the fifth century. P, it appears, came from
Bobbio and was afterwards at Weissenburg, Mayence, and Prague. Q,
together with a portion of Ulfilas’s Gothic Bible, has been employed to
receive the works of Isidore of Seville. The codices were edited with
great care by Tischendorf in 1869.
R. NITRIENSIS, of the sixth century: in the British Museum: consists of
48 leaves containing some 516 verses from Luke’s Gospel, over which and
a manuscript of 4000 verses of the Iliad, the Syriac works of Severus of
Antioch were written in the ninth century. The palimpsest was brought
from the Nitrian Desert in 1847, and deposited in the British Museum.
(Scrivener, i. 145, Plate VI, 17.)
S. VATICANUS 354: one of the earliest manuscripts of the Greek New
Testament that bears an exact date. At the end is written, ἐγράφη ἡ
τιμία δέλτος αὕτη διὰ χειρὸς ἐμοῦ Μιχαὴλ μοναχοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ μηνὶ Μαρτίῳ
α’, ἡμέρᾳ έ, ὥρᾳ ϛ’, ἔτους ϛυνζ’, ἰνδικτιῶνος ζ’, _i.e._ at six o’clock
on Thursday, 1st March 6457 in the 7th Indiction[68] or 949 A.D.
T^a. Of the fifth century: in the Museum Borgianum at Rome: written
probably by a Coptic monk: unfortunately a mere fragment containing only
17 leaves from Luke and John: is written in two columns, that on the
left containing a Sahidic version. T^b, similar small fragments of John
in St. Petersburg of the sixth century. T^c, also of the sixth century,
a fragment of Matthew, formerly in the possession of Bishop Porfiri
Uspenski of Kiev, and now at St. Petersburg. T^d, of the seventh
century, in Rome, part of a Sahidic-Greek Evangeliarium, containing a
few verses from Matthew, Mark, and John. T^e, of the sixth century (?),
at Cambridge, consists of four verses, Matthew iii. 13-16. T^h (T^k in
_TiGr._ p. 450), three leaves from Matthew xx. and xxii. T^{i-r},
fragments of six Greek-Coptic and three Greek Gospels of the ninth and
tenth centuries, but possibly the seventh and eighth, published by
Amélineau in vol. xxxiv. of the _Notices et Extraits de la Bibliothèque
Nationale_, 1895, 363 ff.; _cf._ v. Dobschütz in the _Lit.
Cent.-Blatt._, 1895, 42, 1857. T^l contains the double conclusion of
Mark’s Gospel. T^{woi}, similar leaves at Oxford which once belonged to
Woide, but by a different hand from T^a.
