D_{2}. CODEX CLAROMONTANUS: takes its name from Clermont near Beauvais.
The manuscript was written in the sixth century, and is bilingual in
Greek and Latin, having the Greek on the left-hand page. The Greek is
wanting in Rom. i. 1-7, 27-30, and in 1 Cor. xiv. 13-22. In Gal. v. 9
D_{2} reads δολοῖ, and in verse 14 ἐν ὑμῖν, in both places agreeing with
Marcion. At least nine hands are distinguishable in the manuscript, one
of whom corrected the text in over 2000 places in the ninth or tenth
century. Two leaves are palimpsest, their text being written over part
of a play of Euripides. Hebrews has evidently been copied into the Codex
from a different manuscript by a later scribe. Before it is a list of
“versus scribtuarum sanctarum,” one of the oldest stichometric
catalogues of the books of the Old and New Testaments, which is derived
from an early Greek original. This Catalogus Claromontanus is given in
Westcott’s _History of the Canon_, App. D, xx. p. 563, and in his _Bible
in the Church_, App. B, p. 309. See also Zahn, _Geschichte des N. T.
Kanons_, II. 157-172, 1012; Jülicher, _Einleitung_, § 40. Thirty-five
leaves of Codex D_{2} were stolen by John Aymont in 1707, but afterwards
restored by their purchasers, some of them in 1720, and the others in
1729. (_See Plates II. and III._)
E_{3}. SANGERMANENSIS, of the ninth century: also Greek-Latin: brought
from St. Germain de Près to St. Petersburg during the Revolution: in the
Greek merely an incorrect transcript of D_{2}, and may therefore be
dismissed. See p. 179 n. 1.
F_{2}. AUGIENSIS, of the ninth century: another Greek-Latin manuscript:
defective in Rom. i. 1-iii. 19; 1 Cor. iii. 8-16; vi. 7-14; Col. ii.
1-8; Philemon 21-25: Hebrews from the first only in the Latin. The
manuscript was formerly at Reichenau (Augia Dives, hence its name). It
was purchased by Bentley in 1718 for 250 Dutch florins, and is now at
Cambridge. An edition of it was published by Scrivener in 1859. For F^a,
see above, p. 66.
Scrivener, _An exact transcript of the Codex Augiensis ... to which
is added a full collation of fifty manuscripts containing various
portions of the Greek N. T._, 1859. F. Zimmer, _Der Codex Augiensis
eine Abschrift des Boernerianus_ (_ZfwTh._, 1887, i. 76-91).
