Introduction to the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament

16 is noteworthy as being written in four different colours according to
the contents. The continuous narrative is written in green, the words of
Jesus and the Angels are in red and occasionally in gold, the words of
His followers are in blue, while those of the Pharisees, the multitude,
and of the devil, are written in black.
28. Contains relics of a very ancient text and bears some resemblance to
D.
33. Written about the tenth century: the “queen of the cursives”: its
text bears a greater resemblance to that of B, D, L than does that of
any other cursive. The manuscript is much damaged, but 34, which is
equally old, is still in splendid condition, as though it were fresh
from the hand of the artist. (Scrivener, i. 343, Plate XIII. 39.)
38. Sent by the Emperor Michael Palæologus to St. Louis (d. 1270).
51. At Oxford: text resembles that of the Complutensian.
59. At Cambridge: has many points of connection with D.
61. Of the fourteenth or fifteenth century. This is the notorious Codex
Montfortianus, now in Dublin, which derives its name from one of its
later possessors. It was this manuscript, “codex apud Anglos repertus,”
that decided Erasmus to insert in his third edition of 1522 the passage
of the Three Heavenly Witnesses, 1 John v. 7, 8. It was probably written
by a Franciscan monk of the name of Froy or Roy. Its twin brother, the
parchment codex Ravianus (Rau), formerly numbered 110, and now in
Berlin, which also contains the passage, proves to be nothing more than
a transcript of the text of the Complutensian. Manuscripts, it may be
observed, continued to be prepared long after the invention of printing.
Melanchthon, _e.g._, wrote out the Epistle to the Romans three times in
Greek; and the manuscript in the Zurich Library hitherto cited as
56^{Paul} is nothing else than a copy of Erasmus’s printed edition of
1516 made by Zwingli in the following year.
69. _Cf._ 13 above, and see J. R. Harris, _Origin of the Leicester Codex
of the New Testament_, 1887. (Scrivener, i. 343, Plate XIII. 40.)
77 and 78. Formerly in the fine library of Matthias Corvinus, King of
Hungary (d. 1490).
90. In this manuscript the Gospels are in the order John, Luke, Matthew,
Mark.
106. Would be important, but has been lost sight of since the time of
Wettstein.
140. Presented to Pope Innocent VII. by the Queen of Cyprus. This
manuscript reads διηρθρώθη in Luke i. 64, therein agreeing with the
Complutensian.
146-153. In Rome, came from Heidelberg.
154-156. Once the property of Christina, Queen of Sweden.
157. In Rome: its text is said to bear a considerable resemblance to the
quotations found in the early Christian writer Marcion. See below, p.
211.
164. The subscription of this manuscript states that it was compared
with certain ancient manuscripts in Jerusalem.
