r, a MS., now in the Bodleian Library, consisting of 157 leaves large 4to. It contains Luke's Gospel entire, and jiarts of the other three. The form of the letters resembles the Codex O/prius or K.

A. Codex Sangallensis, a Greek -Latin MS. in the library of St. Gall, containing the four Gospels entire, with the exception of John xix, 17-35. It is very sim- ilar in character to G {Cod. Boernerianus), both belong- ing to the same age and country, i. e. they were written in the monastery of St. GaU, in Switzerland, in the 9th century. Kettig published it at Ziirich, in fac-simile, in 1836. This MS., with the codices Augiensis and Bo- ernerianus, are portions of one and the same document. See Gall, St., Manuscript.

A, Codex Zaci/nf kills, a palimpsest containing frag- ments of Luke's (iospel, belonging to the committee of the Britisli and Foreign Bible Society.

Such are the uncial MSS. hitherto collated. Their number is not great, but every year is adding to it. There are known upwards of a hundred uncials, includ- ing evangelistaria and apostoli. (See the table below.)
4. The number of the cursii-e MSS. (miiiiiscuks} in existence cannot be accurately calculated. Tischendorf catalogues aliout 5(K) of the Gospels, 200 of the Acts and Catliolic Epistles, 250 of the Pauline Epistles, and a lit- tle less than 100 of the Apocalypse (exclusive of lection- aries) ; but this enumeration can only be accepted as a rough approximation. Many of the JMSS. quoted are only known by old references ; still more have been "inspected" most cursorily ; few only have been thor- oughly collated. In this last work the Kev. F. H. Scriv- ener {ColUtliun of about 20 MSS. of the Holy Gospels, Camb. 1853; Cod. Aug. etc., Camb. 1869) has labored with the greatest success, and removed many common
errors as to the character of the later text. His sum- mary is as follows :
