The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel According to S. Mark
Burgon, John William
Bible. Mark XVI, 9-20 -- Criticism, Textual
78 See _Nova P. P. Bibliotheca_, iv. 255.—That it was styled “Inquiries
with their Resolutions” (Ζητήματα καὶ Λύσεις), Eusebius leads us to
suppose by himself twice referring to it under that name,
(_Demonstr. Evang. lib._ vii. 3: also in the Preface to Marinus,
_Mai_, iv. 255:) which his abbreviator is also observed to employ
(_Mai_, iv. 219, 255.) But I suspect that he and others so designate
the work only from the nature of its contents; and that its actual
title is correctly indicated by Jerome,—_De Evangeliorum Diaphoniâ_:
“Edidit” (he says) “de Evangeliorum Diaphoniâ,” (_De Scriptt.
Illustt._ c. 81.) Again, Διαφωνία Εὐαγγελίων, (_Hieron._ in Matth.
i. 16.) Consider also the testimony of Latinus Latinius, given
below, p. 44, note (q). “Indicated” by Jerome, I say: for the entire
title was probably, Περὶ τῆς δοκούσης ἐν τοῖς εὐαγγελίοις κ.τ.λ.
διαφωνίας. The Author of the Catena on S. Mark edited by Cramer (i.
p. 266), quotes an opinion of Eusebius ἐν τῷ πρὸς Μαρῖνον περὶ τῆς
δοκούσης ἐν εὐαγγελίοις περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως διαφωνίας: words which
are extracted from the same MS. by Simon, _Hist. Crit. N. T._ p. 89.
79 Ἐκλογὴ ἐν συντόμῳ ἐκ τῶν συντεθέντων ὑπὸ Εὐσεβίου πρὸς Στέφανον [and
πρὸς Μαρῖνον] περὶ τῶν ἐν τοῖς Εὐαγγελίοις ζητημάτων καὶ λύσεων.
_Ibid._ pp. 219, 255.—(See the plate of fac-similes facing the title
of vol. i. ed. 1825.)
80 Σὐσέβιος ... ἐν ταῖς πρὸς Μαρῖνον ἐπὶ ταῖς περὶ τοῦ θείου πάθους καὶ
τῆς ἀναστάσεως ζητήσεσι καὶ ἐκλύσεσι, κ.τ.λ. I quote the place from
the less known Catena of Cramer, (ii. 389,) where it is assigned to
Severus of Antioch: but it occurs also in _Corderii Cat. in Joan._
p. 436. (See Mai, iv. 299.)
81 This passage is too grand to be withheld:—Οὐ γὰρ ἤν ἀξιός τις ἐν τῇ
πόλει Ἰουδαίων, (ὥς φησιν Εὐσέβιος κεφαλαίωιγ πρὸς Μαρνον,) τὸ κατὰ
τοῦ διαβόλου τρόπαιον τὸν σταυρὸν βαστάσαι; ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἐξ ἀγροῦ, ὅς
μηδὲν ἐπικεκοινώνηκε τῇ κατὰ χριστο μιαιφονίᾳ. (_Possini Cat. in
Marcum_, p. 343.)
