G_{3}. BOERNERIANUS, of the ninth century, so called from Professor C.
F. Boerner of Leipzig, who purchased it in 1705: now in Dresden. It is a
Greek-Latin manuscript, the Latin being interlinear. It is manifestly
the second part of Δ, and has a close affinity with F_{2}, though the
Greek of F was not copied from G, as Zimmer and Hort assert. The fact is
rather that both are derived from one and the same original, in which
_e.g._ ως γαγγρα ινα νομην εξει, sicut cancer ut serpat, was found in 2
Tim. ii. 17, and ημεθα δε δουλωμενοι, eramus autem servientes, in Gal.
iv. 3. This manuscript contains some interesting Irish verses.[70] At
the end of Philemon there stands the title προς Λαουδακησας, ad
laudicenses, but the Epistle that should have followed has been lost.
P. Corssen, _Epistularum Paulinarum codices graece et latine
scriptos Augiensem, Boernerianum, Claromontanum examinavit, inter se
comparavit, ad communem originem revocavit. Specimen primum_, 1887.
_Alterum_, 1889.
[Sidenote: Euthalian Recension.]
H_{3}. Written in the sixth century, one of the most valuable
manuscripts, but unfortunately incomplete. Its leaves were used in 975
and 1218 to cover some manuscripts at Mount Athos. Forty-one of these
have been rescued, of which 22 are now in Paris, 8 at Mount Athos, 3 in
St. Petersburg, 3 in Moscow, 2 in Turin, and 3 in Kiev. They contain
portions of 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians,
1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Hebrews. The value of the manuscript is
indicated in the subscription, which runs, “I, Euthalius,[71] wrote this
volume of the Apostle Paul as carefully as possible in stichoi, so that
it might be read with intelligence: the book was compared with the copy
in the library at Cæsarea, written by the hand of Pamphilus the
saint.”[72] The subscription may of course have stood in the original of
H, and simply been copied into it along with the text, as in the case of
the minuscules 15, 83, and 173 of the Acts. But no matter, it serves to
locate the text of this manuscript, and it is one of our main witnesses
for the so-called =Euthalian Recension= of the Acts and Catholic
Epistles.
