(7.) Scholz proceeds to enumerate the following twenty-two Codices:—24, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 108, 129, 137, 138, 143, 181, 186, 195, 199, 206, 209, 210, 221, 222. And this imposing catalogue is what has misled Tischendorf, Tregelles and the rest. They have not perceived that it is _a mere transcript of Griesbach’s list_; which Scholz interrupts only to give from Cod. 24, (imperfectly and at second-hand,) the weighty scholion, (Wetstein had given it from Cod. 41,) which relates, on the authority of an eye-witness, that S. Mark xvi. 9-20 existed in the ancient Palestinian Copy. (About that Scholion enough has been offered already.(209)) Scholz adds that very nearly the same words are found in 374.—What he says concerning 206 and 209 (and he might have added 199,) has been explained above. But when the twenty MSS. which remain(210) undisposed of have been scrutinized, their testimony is found to be quite different from what is commonly supposed. One of them (No. 38) has been cited in error: while the remaining nineteen are nothing else but copies of _Victor of Antioch’s commentary on S. Mark_,—no less than _sixteen_ of which contain the famous attestation that in _most of the accurate copies, and in particular the authentic Palestinian Codex, the last twelve verses of S. Mark’s Gospel_ WERE FOUND. (See above, pp. 64 and 65.).... And this exhausts the evidence. (8.) So far, therefore, as “Notes” and “Scholia” in MSS. are concerned, the sum of the matter proves to be simply this:—(_a_) Nine Codices(211) are observed to contain a note to the effect that the end of S. Mark’s Gospel, though wanting “in some,” was yet found “in others,”—“in many,”—“_in the ancient copies_.” (_b_) Next, four Codices(212) contain subscriptions vouching for the genuineness of this portion of the Gospel by declaring that those four Codices had been _collated with approved copies preserved at Jerusalem_. (_c_) Lastly, sixteen Codices,—(to which, besides that already mentioned by Scholz,(213) I am able to add at least five others, making twenty-two in all,(214))—contain a weighty critical scholion asserting categorically that in “very many” and “accurate copies,” specially in the “true Palestinian exemplar,” _these verses had been found by one who seems to have verified the fact of their existence there for himself_.
