longing to Perpignan. Ordinary text in Gospels, but parts of the Acts (li-i:i' 28'^ ad jin.) are Old Latin and allied to the text of the Codex Laudianus (E e) and the Gigas (.'",7) ; Catholic Epp. have a Spanish text, resembling the Codex Toletanxit, The Old Latin portions of the Acts have been published by Berger, Un ancien texte Lat. des Actes des Ap6tre9 retrr^i^ dans un MS provenant de Perpignan ( S otices et extraitf d*» MSS de la liibl. 2iat. et autre^ Bibliothi'quei, tome xxxv. 1» partie), Paris, 1895. Wordsworth's p in Acts.
Cndex Demidovianus. Bible (xiii], but copied from an earlier exemplar; it belonged in the last century to a Paul Deuiidov Gregorovitch, but its present position is unknown. The text was published in Acts, Epp., and Apoc. by Mattbaei io his New Testament (1782-b); and Tischendorf has quoted it from his edition (under the sign demid). Wordsworth's dem. io Acts.
VI. Other French Texts.— For other t.\-pes of French texts anterior to the Theodulfian and .\lcuinian recensions the reader must study M. Berger's book, p. 83 ff. All that we can do here is to enumerate some of the MSS he quotes, and the centre* around which he has grouped them ; e.g. —
MSS from Limoges : Paris, Bibl. Nat. 5 and 52 [ix] ; 8 and 8> [xi] ; 315 [xii or xiii] ; 2328 [\-iii or ix] ; 315 (xii-xiiij. from Tours: Paris. Bibl. Nat. 112 [x], 113. from Fleury : Orleans, PubUc Library 16, portions of 6
MSS of different dates, from Chartres : St. John, Paris, Bibl. Nat. 10,439 (viiij. Other MSS from the N. of France : Autun, Grand Seminairet
[viii], Paris. Bibl. Nat. 17,226 [vii] ; 256 [vii] ; 14,407 [ixJ. Bibles from St. Riquier: Paris, Bibl. Nat. 11,504-5 [ix], the S. Genim7ii longum exemplar of R. Stephanus ; interesting text; Bibl. Nat. 45 and 93 [ix or x], the Codex l^egius; mixed text. Allied in text to these are the MSS Bibl. Nat 309 [xi] and 305 [xi], both New Test, without Gospels. The Melz .MS (Public Library 7) preserves an interesting spet^-inien of the mixed texts current at the time [ix] ; see p. o40. MSS from Corbie on the Somme, near Amiens : — Amiens, Public Library 6, 7, 11, 12, portions of a Bible in several volumes [viii or ix].
IS, the famous Corbie Psalter [vuiAx]. 10. The four books of Esdras [ix] : one of the few MSS containing the whole book ; see R. L. Bensly, The Minting Frwpnent of the Uh Book of Ezra, Cambridge, 1875. Paris, Bibl. Nat., Lat. 13,174 ; Acts, Cath. Epp., and Apoc. [ix]. Do., Lat. 11,532-3: Bible [ix]; contains the Psalteritun ex BebrcBo ; text interesting but mixed ; sUght Spanish elements in it. Bible from the Abbey of St. Vedast at Arras : Vienna, Im- perial Libran- 1190 fix]. VII. Swiss MSS (especially St. Gall).— Irish monks and scribea penetrated through France, and right down into Switzerland and Italy ; it is thus that we get Vulgate MSS written often in Irish hands, and containing the same mixture of Irish and Continental tj-pes of text, not only in France, but in such centres of monastic Hfe as St. Gall, Reichenau, Einsiedeln.
Of these the Codices Saiujallenxis and Boemerianus (^i and Gg), which are really different parts of the same interlinear Grseco-Latin MS, belong rather to Old Latin than to Vulgate MSS, and are described above (see Latin Versions); though the base of h in the Gospels is perhaps more Vulgate than Old Latin : possibly the Grasco-Latin Psalter now preser\'ed in the Basle Librarv (A. vii. 3) may also be part of this same MS.
The s;ime niav be said of the Codex Atujiensis, now at Trin. Coll., Cambr. (B. 17. 1.).
Earlv i>'pesof such mixed Irish and Continental texts are found in the St. Gall MSS No. 10. Job, Prov., Eccl.. Cantic'.es, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus [x], Irish hand ; No. 51, Gospels [viiiJ, Irish hand, mixed text ; No. 60, St. John [viii or ix], Irish hand, mixed text. Grandducal Library, Karlsruhe ; the Reichenau Codex Augiensit 211 ; Go.-^pels [late ix], with a number of Irish readings. Berne, Universitv Librarv 671 ; Gospels [ix or x], fine Irish hand, mixed text. Milan, Am'brosian Library I. 61 sup. ; Gospels [viii?], in semi-uncial Irish hand ; formerly at Bobbio. The text has a good many Irish readings in it, and the readings of the correrlor or correctors are extremely interesting and valuable ; see Berger, pp. 55-59.
We are able to fix some of the St. Gal! MSS to the middle of the Sth cent., and to one scribe, Winithar, who was a monk in the monastery- No. 2, Pentateuch, Acts, and Apoc. ; mixed text, m the Acta
close to Br. Mus, Add. 11.852 ; Wordsworth's S in Acts. No. 70, Epp. of St. Paul ; Pastoral Epp. placed after Heb. ;
the text 18 very corrupt. No. 907, Catholic Epp, and Apoa with interesting pefatory matter; the text is very corrupt, resembling the Codex LeinorneeTurijt (Paris, Bibl. Nat. Lat. 232S, noted above). More important, perhaps, than the work of Winithar was that of a Bligbtlv later scribe, Hartmut, who was abbot of St. Gall, 872-88:1 ; the following MSS were written either by him or under his direction : Nos. 7, Chron. and Sapiential books ; 81, Sapien- tial books. Job, Tobit; 46. Ezek.. Minor Prophets, and Dan.; 45, the same ; 77, 78. 82, 79, 83, portions of a Bible ; 75, Bible. To them must be added— Brit. Mus., Add. 11,852, Pauline Epp. (including Laod.), Acts, Cath. Epp., Apoc, [ix], interesting text. See E. Nestle, Bfjujel aU Gelehrter, pp. 6S-60, Tubingen. 1892; Words- worth's U in Acts ; text agrees closely with the St Gall MS 2. St. Gall, however, was connected with other main lines of MS transmission, such as those which ran through Chur, Milan, Bobbio, and VerceUi ; and these in turn were in oommunicauo*
