Boreel's Manuscript (Codex Boreeli), an important uncial MS. of the N. T., containing (with many lacunce~) the Gospels, of which it is usually des- ignated as Cod. F. . It derives its name from having once belonged to John Boreel, Dutch ambassador to the court of king James I. Soon after Boreel's death in 1629, some man of learning, whose name is un- known, made extracts from this MS. as far as Luke x ; this collation was communicated to Wetstein by Isaac Verburger in 1730, and "Wetstein used it in his Critical Apparatus, but could not discover where the MS. was at that time. In 1830 it was discovered at Arnheim, and Prof. Heringa speedily made a careful collation of its text, which appeared in 1843, after his death, with a description and fac-simile, under the edi- torial care of Vinkc (Disputatio de Codice Boreeliano). Some of the sheets, however, appear in the mean- while to have been lost. It is now in the University library at Utrecht. It consists of 204 leaves and a few fragments, written in two columns of about nine- teen lines to a page, in a tall, oblong form, with large, upright, compressed characters. It has the usual in- dications of the Ammonian sections in the margin, but without the Eusebian canons. The breathings and ac- cents are fully and not incorrectly given. In Luke there are no less than twenty-four gaps ; in Wetstein's collation it began with Matt, vii, 6, but now with Matt. ix, 1 : other hiatuses are Matt, xii, 1^44 ; xiii, 55-xiv, 9 ; xv, 20-31 ; xx, 18-xxi, 5 ; Mark i, 43-ii, 8 ; ii, 23- iii, 5; xi, 6-26; xiv, 54-xv, 5; xv, 39-xvi, 19; John iii, 5-14; iv, 23-38; v, 18-38; vi, 39-63; vii, 28-viii, 10; x, 32-xi, 3; xi, 40-xii, 3; xii, 14-25: it ends at John xiii, 34. It is supposed to belong to the ninth or tenth century. — Tregelles, in Home's Tntrod. iv, 200; Scrivener, Introduction, p. 104 sq. See Manu- scripts, Biblical.
