Γ. Of the ninth or tenth century: part in Oxford and part in St.
Petersburg, the former having been obtained from Tischendorf in 1855 and
the latter in 1859: contains the whole of Luke and John, but Mark is
defective from iii. 34 to vi. 20, while Matthew is still more defective.
The writing of the manuscript was finished on a certain Thursday, the
27th November, in the eighth year of an indiction. Tischendorf
accordingly fixed its date as 844. It was previously assigned by
Gardthausen to the year 979. Scrivener, i. 134, Plate XII. 35.
Δ. SANGALLENSIS, written at the end of the ninth or beginning of the
tenth century: now at St. Gall, where it was probably transcribed by an
Irish monk: has an interlinear Latin version, and was not, therefore,
like D, intended for church but for school purposes. The Codex has the
four Gospels complete with the exception of John xix. 17-35. In Mark the
text shows a closer agreement with CL than in the other Gospels. The
manuscript has been copied from one written _scriptione continua_, and
in consequence the words are often wrongly divided. See G_{3} below, p.
77.
Θ^{a-d}. Small fragments brought from the East by Tischendorf, of which
Θ^a belongs to the seventh century, and Θ^{bcd} to the seventh, sixth,
and seventh or eighth century respectively. The first is in Leipzig, the
others in St. Petersburg. Θ^{e-h} were formerly in the possession of
Bishop Porfiri of Kiev.
Λ. Of the ninth century: contains the Gospels of Luke and John entire:
evidently the second part of a minuscule brought to St. Petersburg by
Tischendorf, No. 566^{evv} (Greg.)[69]: marginal scholia are affixed to
four passages in Matthew—viz. iv. 5, xvi. 17, xviii. 22, xxvi. 74,
giving the readings of τὸ Ἰoυδαϊκόν, _i.e._ the lost Gospel according to
the Hebrews, and its subscription runs, ἐγράφη καὶ ἀντεβλήθη ἐκ τῶν
Ἱεροσολύμοις παλαιῶν ἀντιγράφων τῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει ἁγίῳ ἀποκειμένων· ἐν
στίχοις βφιδ’ (2514) κεφαλαῖς τνε’ (345). The manuscript is in the
Bodleian Library at Oxford. Scrivener, i. 131, Plate XI. 30.
_Cf._ von Dobschütz, _Zwei Bibelhandschriften mit doppelter
Schriftart_ (_Th. Lz._, 1889, iii. 74 f.).
Ξ. ZACYNTHIUS, a palimpsest of the eighth century from Zante, now in the
Library of the British and Foreign Bible Society in London: the earliest
manuscript with a commentary: has the same system of chapter division as
B, and is oftener found supporting B against A than _vice versa_.
Π. Of the ninth century: contains the Gospels almost complete: once the
property of a Greek of Smyrna called Parodos: procured by Tischendorf
for the Emperor of Russia.
Σ. Of the sixth century: written on purple with gold and silver
lettering and 17 miniatures, being the earliest manuscript to contain
such: rescued from obscurity in 1879 by Oscar v. Gebhardt and A.
Harnack, who discovered it at Rossano in Calabria: hence designated as
Codex Rossanensis: is nearly related to N. Scrivener, i. 124, Plate XIV.
43.
