ADVERTISEMENT. THE following pages are chiefly designed for the use of those who have no previous knowledge of the Textual Criticism of the New Testament; but since the Author has endeavoured to embody in them the results of very recent investigations, he hopes that they may prove of service to more advanced students. He asks the reader's indulgence for the annexed list of Addenda et Corrigenda, both by reason of the peculiar character of his work, and the remoteness of West Cornwall from Public Libraries. He might easily have suppressed the greater part of them, but that he has honestly tried to be accurate, and sees no cause to be ashamed of what Porson has well called "the common lot of authorship." He has only to add that he has not consciously borrowed from other writers without due acknowledgement, and to return his best thanks to the Rev. H. O. Coxe for important aid in the Bodleian, and to Henry Bradshaw Esq., Fellow of King's College, for valuable instruction respecting manuscripts in the University Library at Cambridge. FALMOUTH, September, 1861. ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA. Page 7, 1. 31, for 16 read 20. p. 12, last line but one, for Acts xiv. read Acts xvi. p. 14, note, add: Yet Cod.

W. B. of the Guardian is now known to be the Rev. J. W. Burgon, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, whose delightful "Letters to Home Friends," are announced for republication. Mr Burgon has an unique and beautiful photograph of Act. i. 1-3? in Cod. B. p. 90, n. 3, Mr Westcott kindly points out that Dr Dobbin is quoting Tregelles' Lecture on the Historic Evidence of the N. T., p. 84. p. 96, 1. 34. Cod. Bezae is numbered Nn. II. 41 in the Catalogue of Manuscripts at Cambridge. p. 99, 1. 29. The letters in Cod. D, as a whole, are larger than in AB. Scrivener is engaged on a new edition of it, printed line for line in common Greek type, with Prolegomena, Notes and fac-similes, to be sold at a low price. He finds, by recent experience, that Kipling's accuracy is over-stated in pp. 98, 99. p. 106, 1. 33. Add after "canons": Tírλo lost): the church-notes seem primâ manu. separate line, as in Cod. B, (see p. 87). and the larger kepadata in red (those of St John being Each member in the genealogy in Luke iii. forms a p. 110, 1. 23: add: Another facsimile is given in Silvestre, No. 76. Cod. M contains Eusebius' letter to Carpianus, a note in Slavonic, and others in a contemporaneous cursive hand. p. 115, 11. 16-24 is obviously the same fragment as Nb, p. 111, one of the most difficult to read I ever examined. p. 121, 1. 6, for less read greater. p. 123, 1. 14. I now observe that Hug (Introd. 1. 283, Wait) divides the kindred Cod. G of St Paul into σríxou on the same plan. p. 126, 1. 37. Cod. Zacynthius is just announced as ready (Sept. 1861). See also p. 347, 1. 32. p. 137, 1. 40, for de read des. p. 142. Cod. 1 was formerly numbered B. VI. 27 at Basle. p. 149, 1. 1. Elsewhere (except in p. 150, 1. 5; p. 152, 1. 3) more correctly called by its modern name the University Library. p. 158, Cod. 124, for Nessel 118, read Nessel 188. p. 170, Cod. 311, for Reg. 303, read Reg. 203. p. 182, 1. 20, for 187, read 181. p. 185, 1. 12, for Psaltery read Psalter. Insert X between B and 20. p. 187, Act. 4. p. 188, Act. 20. Add: 4o, the Pauline Epistles precede the Acts and Catholic Epp. (see p. 61). One leaf is lost in p. 188, Act. 21. Add (Wetstein). p. 192, 1. 24, Act. 72. For 97 read 96. p. 193, Act. 102. See p. 225 note, where the error is corrected. p. 197, Act. 178 is now Middle Hill 1461, Apoc. m.scr. p. 203, Paul 119, prefix an asterisk to this Codex. p. 206, Paul 213. From the reading (тoû beοû kai пaтрòs тоû xρươтоû) in Coloss. ii. 2 it is pretty clear that this is one of the 22 Barberini manuscripts mentioned in p. 157, Evan. 112. p. 208. 1. 34, Apoc. 41 is Alexandrino-Vat. 68, not 69. p. 223, Apost. 2. Add: The lessons exactly correspond with those in our list (pp. 68-74): five of the Saints' day lessons are from the Catholic Epistles. This codex is written in a fine bold hand with red musical notes. p. 224, Apost. 44, 45 are respectively BB and CC of Missy, but 1633, 1634 of his Sale Catalogue. Spell Giorgi to be uniform with p. 116, 1. 12, and p. 273, 1. 7. p. 272, 1. 31. p. 274, 1. 20. Dean Ellicott (Philipp. &c.) marks an Arian tinge in the rendering of Phil. ii. 6-8 in the Gothic, which he praises as usually accurate and faithful. p. 278, 1. 20, &c. Ellicott, speaking from personal experience, "cannot in any way agree" with Tregelles' estimate of the Æthiopic, adding "in St Paul's Epistles I have found it any thing but the dreary paraphrase which he terms it" (Philipp. &c. Preface, p. viii. n. 2). On this point I can only record the contradictory judgments of others. p. 306, 1. 11, Luke xix. 4: add E2 after B. p. 310, 1. 39. I observe that Kuenen (N. T. ad fidem Cod. Vatican. Praef. p. li.) cites Eschyl. Suppl. 391 for кρîμа, but adds "apud Nonnum a Stephano laudatum eis кpíμa dioodv ëßnv. Hinc sequitur scriptores N. T. omnes aequalium consuetudinem secutos κpíμa dixisse." But how was Nonnus [v] an aequalis of the sacred writers? p. 319, 1. 6. Spell Gerhard à Mästricht, uniformly with p. 152, 1. 36. Read and facsimiles of Manuscripts (twenty-nine in all), the whole being &c. p. 329, 1. 2. p. 330, 1. 17, p. 340, 1. 12. Read one of the most celebrated philologists. kai. p. 425, 1. 18. For kaì read кaι. The few stops are inserted for the reader's convenience. p. 431, 1. 23, for vv. 9—12 read vv. 9—20. Postscript. We have not named in the body of this work the papyrus fragments of St Matthew and St James, said to have been unrolled by M. Simonides, and now in the possession of Mr Mayer of Liverpool, to which a marvellous date has been assigned. When facsimiles shall have been published and studied and compared with the originals, we shall be better able than at present to estimate their value. I have reserved till this place the corrections to Dr Bloomfield's list of manuscripts, collated or inspected by him, which renewed examination has enabled me to make. My venerated friend has not distinguished in his Catalogue between the Harleian and Additional codices in the British Museum. p. 186. Addl. 14774, add: A splendid copy, 4o, kep. t (red or gold), kep., títλoɩ, Am., Eus. (often omitted), men., lect., with illuminations (cost £84). Ibid. Addl. 15581, add: 12° neat, with leaves misbound. Am., Eus. (mostly omitted), lect. secundâ manu, the Latin chapters later still. Ibid. Addl. 16184, add: except the Apocalypse, in the usual Greek order (see p. 61), preceded by liturgical matter on paper and vellum, 37 or 38 lines on a small 4o page. The gospels have kep. t., prol., Kep., TíTλoi (rubro, almost obliterated), Am. (not Eus.), lect., the Epistles prol., kep. t, Euthalian TiToi, lect., with full syn., and other matter at the end. Ibid. Addl. 17469, 17741 are wrongly set down by Bloomfield as 17467, 17740 respectively. p. 187. Addl. 18211, add: with 12 leaves chart. [xv] to fill up hiatus, kep. t, rírλoi, Am. (not Eus.), some lect., from Patmos. F. V. J. Arundell, British Chaplain at Smyrna (1834), describes this copy, given him by Mr Borrell, and a Lectionary sold to him at the same time, in his "Discoveries in Asia Minor," Vol. II. p. 268. He there compares it with the beautiful Cód. Ebnerianus (Evan. 105), which it does not resemble in the least, being larger and far less elegant. Ibid. Addl. 19387, add: 4o, in the Museum Catalogue [XIV], Ibid. Addl. 19389, add: rírλoi, Am. (not Eus.), lect., elegantly written by Cosmas, a monk ; bought of Simonides, 1853. p. 207, 1. 3. Codd. 5540, 5742 are neither Harl., nor Addl. I cannot set right these false refer ences. Ibid. 1. 4. Addl. 19389 must mean 19388 [XIII or XIV], 4o, small but very neat, bought of Simonides, 1853. Here again the Pauline Epp. precede the Catholic (begins 2 Cor. xi. 25, ends 1 Pet. iii. 15), the Acts being absent. Prol., lect., Euthalian κeÓ. pp. 218, 219. Evst. 151 and 152 were also inspected by Bloomfield. p. 223, 1. 9. Dele Codd. Cod. 536 is neither Harl. nor Addl., and I cannot explain the error. 1575, 1577. Addl. 5153 is [XII or x1], 4o, 2 vol., mut., in bad condition, with red musical notes, and some leaves supplied on paper and vellum. We have omitted Bloomfield's 5684 (Harl., not Addl.) as being Evan. G (see p. 106). Ibid. Addl. 18212 [xx] 4o, much mut. at the end, with red musical notes and an older leaf from the Old Testament prefixed. Ibid. Addl. 19460 [XIII] 4o small, is very coarsely written, imperfect, and in bad condition. Ibid. Addl. 19993 [XIV] 4° small, chart., damaged, but in a bold hand. At the beginning is an Avertissment, signed G. Alefson, which ends literally thus: "Je l'ai acheté seulement pour le sauver des mains barbares qui allait lé destruire intierement au prix de sch. 15 a Chypre, A.D. 1851.' p. 225, 1. 35. From our totals we must strike off two codices of St Paul and three Evangelistaria, which we cannot recognise, but 19388 must be added to the list of the Catholic Epistles; thus our total of known cursives is 1456.
