419. Written in 800 by the Empress Maria, after being divorced by Constantine VI. PAULINE EPISTLES. 7. Used by Erasmus. 56 and 66 are quite worthless, being simply copies of Erasmus’s printed text. (See above under 61^{evv}). 67. A valuable manuscript on account of its corrector having evidently made use of an exemplar with a text very closely akin to that of B M. 80 bears a close resemblance to 69^{evv}. APOCALYPSE. 1. This was the only manuscript at Erasmus’s command for this part of the New Testament. It is defective in the last chapter from verse 16 to the end. For the rest it exhibits a fairly good text. (See p. 3 f.) 36. A text akin to א. 38 has a text resembling that of A C. 68. Resembles A. 95 does so still more. This last has the reputation of being one of the best minuscules of the Apocalypse. The number of minuscules under each class is, according to Scrivener (Miller), as follows:— Gospels, 1326 Acts and Catholic 422 Epistles, Pauline Epistles, 497 Apocalypse, 184 —— 2429 A great many New Testament manuscripts are in England. Some are in the possession of private individuals, like those at Parham Park in Sussex belonging to Lord de la Zouche. In 1870-72 the Baroness Burdett Coutts brought with her from Janina in Epirus over one hundred manuscripts, of which sixteen were of the Gospels, one of them belonging to the Ferrar Group, and as many were Evangeliaria. There are 136 manuscripts of the New Testament in the British Museum. The number in Great 438 Britain is In the National 298 Library of Paris, In Germany, 140 In Italy, 644 For the total number of Greek manuscripts arranged according to countries, see Scrivener, i., Indices I., II., pp. 392 ff.
