24. CHAPTER XIII. EVANGELISTARIES, OR MANUSCRIPT SERVICE-BOOKS OF THE GOSPELS.

However grievously the great mass of cursive manuscripts of the New Testament has been neglected by Biblical critics, the Lectionaries of the Greek Church, partly for causes pre...

7. CHAPTER II. GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE GREEK MANUSCRIPTS OF THE NEW

As the extant Greek manuscripts of the New Testament supply both the most copious and the purest sources of Textual Criticism, we propose to present to the reader some account o...

8. CHAPTER III. DIVISIONS OF THE TEXT, AND OTHER PARTICULARS.

We have next to give some account of ancient divisions of the text, as found in manuscripts of the New Testament; and these must be carefully noted by the student, since few cop...

17. CHAPTER VIII. CURSIVE MANUSCRIPTS OF THE GOSPELS. PART II.

At length, after baffling delays only too readily accounted for by the public calamities of the Papal state, the concluding volume of this sumptuous and important work was publi...

10. xvi. 3 μιν τον λιθον to the end of verse 8, where the Gospel ends

abruptly; both the arabesque ornament and the subscription ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ being in a later hand (for M _see_ p. 37). All who have inspected the Codex are loud in their praises of t...

3. CHAPTER I. PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS.

6. xxii. 37, where εἶπεν of the common text is supported only by two known

manuscripts, that at Leicester, and one used by Erasmus. So also ὀμμάτων is put for ὀφθαλμῶν Matt. ix. 29 by the Codex Bezae. In Matt. xxv. 16 the evidence is almost evenly bala...

23. xiii. 10, and from the clauses put wrong by Erasmus, as being lost in the

commentary, e.g. ch. ii. 17; iii. 5, 12, 15; vi. 11, 15. Of this copy Dr. Hort says (Introd. p. 263) that “it is by no means an average cursive of the common sort. On the one ha...

28. iii. The scribe who wrote the text was unacquainted with the

Eusebian sections. For the beginning of a section is not marked, as in A and most subsequent MSS., by a division of the text and a larger letter. On the contrary the text is div...

E. CODEX LAUDIANUS 35 is one of the most precious treasures preserved in the Bodleian at Oxford. It is a Latin-Greek copy, with two columns on a page, the Latin version holding...

5. xvi. 20 ΗΛΚΩΜΕΝΟΣ or ΕΙΛΚΩΜΕΝΟΣ; so we read Δαυίδ or Δαβίδ indifferently,

as, in the later or _cursive_ character, β and υ have nearly the same shape. Akin to these errors of the eye are such transpositions as ΕΛΑΒΟΝ for ΕΒΑΛΟΝ or ΕΒΑΛΛΟΝ, Mark xiv. 6...

26. i. It is demonstrable that the Eusebian Sections and Canons on the

margin are contemporaneous with the text. For they are wanting from leaves 10 and 15. Now these leaves are conjugate; and they have been (on other grounds) noted by Tischendorf...
