Introduction to the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament
Nestle, Eberhard
Bible. New Testament -- Criticism, Textual
time, belongs to Peter Sabatier the Maurist (Rheims, 1743, 3 vols.
folio).
In critical editions of the New Testament the manuscripts of the
pre-Jeromic versions are indicated by the small letters of the Roman
alphabet. They are the following:—
1. GOSPELS.
a. Vercellensis: according to a tradition recorded in a document of the
eighth century this manuscript was written by Eusebius, Bishop of
Vercelli, who died in the year 370 or 371. Recent scholars, however,
date it somewhat later. It is written on purple with silver letters. The
order of the Gospels is that found in most of these Old Latin MSS.—viz.
Matthew, John, Luke, Mark. The manuscript is defective in several
places.
The codex was edited by Irico in 1748, and by Bianchini in 1749
along with some of the others in his Evangeliarium Quadruplex. This
latter edition was reprinted, with some inaccuracies, in Migne’s
_Patrologia Latina_, vol. xii. The manuscript was again edited by
Belsheim; _Codex Vercellensis. Quatuor Evangelia ante Hieronymum
latine translata ex reliquiis Codicis Vercellensis, saeculo ut
videtur quarto scripti, et ex Editione Iriciana principe denuo
ededit_ (sic) _Jo. Belsheim._ Christiania, 1894.
b. Veronensis: of the fourth or fifth century, also written with silver
on purple. In this Codex, John vii. 44-viii. 12 has been erased. The
manuscript is defective.
Edited by Bianchini (see above). A Spagnolo, _L’Evangeliario
Purpureo Veronese_. Nota (Torino, 1899. Estratta dagli Atti dell’
Accademia Reale delle Scienze di Torino).
c. Colbertinus: in Paris, written in the twelfth century, but still
containing the Old Latin text in the Gospels, though exhibiting Jerome’s
version in other parts.
Edited by Sabatier, and again by Belsheim; _Codex Colbertinus
Parisiensis. Quatuor Evangelia ante Hieronymum latine translata post
editionem Petri Sabatier cum ipso codice collatam denuo edidit Jo.
Belsheim._ Christiania, 1888.
d. The Latin part of Codex D; see p. 64 ff.
e. Palatinus: of the fourth or fifth century, written like a b f i j on
purple with gold and silver letters: now in Vienna, with one leaf in
Dublin.
Two other fragments were published in 1893 by Hugo Linke from a
transcript made for Bianchini in 1762. The entire codex was edited
by Belsheim, Christiania, 1896. See von Dobschütz in the _LCbl._,
1896, 28.
f. Brixianus, of the sixth century, in Brescia. In their new edition of
the Vulgate, Wordsworth and White printed the text of this manuscript
underneath that of Jerome for comparison’s sake as probably containing
the text most nearly resembling that on which Jerome based his
recension. But see Burkitt’s Note in the _Journal of Theological
Studies_, I. i. (Oct. 1899), 129-134, and the note to p. 139 in
_Addenda_.
