The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark
Burgon, John William
Bible. Mark XVI, 9-20 -- Criticism, Textual
Again. One hoped that the Index of Texts in Dindorf’s new Oxford ed.
of Clemens Alex. was going to remedy the sadly defective Index in
Potter’s ed. But we are still exactly where we were. S. John i. 3
(or 4), so remarkably quoted in vol. iii. 433, l. 8: S. John i. 18,
50, memorably represented in vol. iii. 412, l. 26: S. Mark i. 13,
interestingly referred to in vol. iii. 455, lines 5, 6, 7:—are
nowhere noticed in the Index. The Voice from Heaven at our SAVIOUR’S
Baptism,—a famous misquotation (vol. i. 145, l. 14),—does not appear
in the Index of quotations from S. Matthew (iii. 17), S. Mark (i.
11), or S. Luke (iii. 22.)]
59 Gregentius _apud_ Galland. xi. 653 E.—Greg. Mag. (Hom. xxix. in
Evang.)—Modestus _apud_ Photium cod. 275.—Johannis Damasceni _Opp._
(ed. 1712) vol. i. 608 E.—Bede, and Theophylact (who quotes _all_
the verses) and Euthymius _in loc._
60 Dr. Wright informs me (1871) that some more leaves of this Version
have just been recovered.
61 By a happy providence, one of the fragments contains the last four
verses.
62 In the margin, against S. Matth. xxviii. 5, Thomas writes,—“_In
tribus codicibus Græcis_, et in uno Syriaco antiquæ versionis, non
inventum est nomen, ‘Nazarenus.’ ”—Cf. ad xxvii. 35.—Adler’s _N. T.
Verss. Syrr._, p. 97.
63 That among the 437 various readings and marginal notes on the
Gospels relegated to the Philoxenian margin, should occur the
worthless supplement which is only found besides in Cod. L. (see ch.
viii.)—is not at all surprising. Of these 437 readings and notes, 91
are not found in White’s Edition; while 105 (the supplement in
question being one of them) are found in White only. This creates a
suspicion that in part at least the Philoxenian margin must exhibit
traces of the assiduity of subsequent critics of the Syriac text.
(So Adler on S. Matth. xxvi. 40.) To understand the character of
some of those marginal notes and annotations, the reader has but to
refer to Adler’s learned work, (pp. 79-134) and examine the notes on
the following places:—S. Matth. xv. 21: xx. 28 ( = D): xxvi. 7. S.
Mk. i. 16: xii. 42. S. Lu. x. 17 ( = B D): 42 ( = B א L): xi. 1: 53.
S. Jo. ii. 1 [3] ( = א): iii. 26: vii. 39 (partly = B): x. 8, &c.
&c.
64 This work has at last been published in 2 vols. 4to., Verona,
1861-4, under the following title:—_Evangeliarium Hierosolymitanum
ex Codice Vaticano Palaestino demprompsit, edidit, Latine vertit,
Prolegomenis et Glossario adornavit, Comes_ FRANCISCUS MINISCALCHI
ERIZZO.
