List of New Testament Uncials List of New Testament uncials From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Codex Sinaiticus, Luke 11:2 John 1:1–7 Codex Alexandrinus A New Testament uncial is a copy of a portion of the New Testament in Greek or Latin capital (or majuscule) letters, written on parchment or vellum. The style of writing called Biblical Uncial or Biblical Majuscule. New Testament uncials are distinct from: New Testament papyri – written on papyrus and generally more ancient; New Testament minuscules – written in minuscule (small, connected) letters and generally more recent; and, New Testament lectionaries – usually written minuscule (but some in uncial) letters and generally more recent. Classification of uncials Wettstein in 1751 knew of only 23 uncial codices of the New Testament.[1] Tischendorf knew 64 uncials. Gregory in 1909 enumerated 161 uncial codices. Aland, in the first edition of his Kurzgefasste Liste (1963) enumerated 250, then in 1989, 299 uncials. Wettstein inaugurated the modern method of classification. He used capital Latin letters to identify the uncials. Codex Alexandrinus received the letter A, Codex Vaticanus – B, Codex Ephraemi – C, Codex Bezae – D, etc. The last letter used by him was O. Succeeding generations used this pattern, but newly discovered manuscripts soon exhausted the Latin alphabet.[2] As a result, letters of the Greek and Hebrew alphabets began to be used. Tischendorf, for example, assigned the Codex Sinaiticus the ,ג Uncial 075 received ,2ב Uncial 048 received ,1ב Uncial 047 received siglum .א Hebrew letter etc.[3][4] When Greek and Hebrew letters ran out, Gregory assigned ,ו – Codex Macedoniensis uncials numerals with an initial 0 (to distinguish them from the symbols of minuscule manuscripts). Codex Sinaiticus received the number 01, Alexandrinus – 02, Vaticanus – 03, Ephraemi – 04, etc. The last uncial manuscript known by Gregory received number 0161.[5] Ernst von Dobschütz expanded the number of uncials to 0208 in 1933.[6] Now 322 sigla for uncial codices have been catalogued by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) in Münster.[7][8] The number 322 does not provide a precise count of New Testament Greek uncials. Uncial 0168 has been lost. No fewer than thirty manuscripts are associated with a smaller set of designations.[n 1] On the other hand, sometimes one number applies to two separate manuscripts, e.g. uncial 092a and 092b, uncial 0121a and 0121b, uncial 0278a and 0278b. Some other numerical designations should be reallocated to other lists: 055 (commentary), 0100 (lectionary), 0129 (lectionary), 0152 (talisman), 0153 (ostracon), 0192 (lectionary), 0195 (lectionary), 0203 (lectionary). Uncial 0212 from the 3rd or 4th century is more properly a witness to the Diatessaron than to the New Testament itself. So, the number 322 is merely nominal; the actual figure should be somewhat lower.[2][9] On the other hand minuscule 1143, known as Beratinus 2, in some parts was written in semi-uncial letters. List of all registered New Testament uncial codices The numbers (#) are the now standard system of Gregory-Aland. Dates are estimated palaeographically by the INTF (except Codex Vaticanus 354 where the scribe gave a date — 949). Content generally only describes sections of the New Testament: Gospels (Gosp), The Acts of the Apostles (Acts), Pauline Epistles (Paul), Catholic epistles (CE), and so on. Sometimes the surviving portion of a codex is so limited that specific books, chapters or even verses can be indicated. Linked articles, where they exist, generally specify content in detail, by verse. Only one uncial, Codex Sinaiticus has a complete text of the New Testament. Codex Alexandrinus has an almost complete text. It contains all books of the New Testament but lacks some leaves of Matthew (25), John (2), and 2 Cor (3). Codex Vaticanus lacks the four last books, and the Epistle to the Hebrews is not complete. Codex Ephraemi has 2/3 of the New Testament. Uncials with designations higher than 046 typically have only one or two leaves. Uncials with sigla Many uncials (about 45 of 300) are so often cited as important witnesses to the text of the New Testament that they have not only names, but a single letter code called a siglum, for concise reference in textual apparatus and in academic writing.

  • Greg Goswell, “Early Readers of the Gospels: the KEPHALAIA and TITLOI of Codex Alexandrinus”
    [JGRChJ 6 (2009) 134-74] EARLY READERS OF THE GOSPELS: THE KEPHALAIA AND TITLOI OF CODEX ALEXANDRINUS Greg Goswell Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne, Australia For the New Testament, the oldest system of capitulation (division into chapters) known to us is that preserved in Codex Vaticanus (B 03) of the fourth century.1 I will use the notation V1, V2 etc. to refer to chapters of Vaticanus. Even a cursory examination of Vaticanus is enough to reveal that the divisions represent an evaluation of what are the sense units of the biblical passages. Each successive chapter in the Gospels is numbered using Greek letters written in red ink to the left of the columns. Capitulation is further indicated by a space of (usually) two letters at the close of the preceding chapter, a short horizontal line (paragraphos) above the first letter of the first whole line of the new chapter marking the close of the preceding paragraph, and sometimes by a letter protruding into the left margin (ekthesis).2 The system of 1. H.K. McArthur, ‘The Earliest Divisions of the Gospels’, in Studia Evangelica, III. 2 (ed. F.L. Cross; Texte und Untersuchungen, 88; Berlin: Akademie Verlag, 1964), pp. 266-72. After rejecting three other possible explanations, McAr- thur suggests that the divisions were used for citation purposes, especially in aca- demic circles. For alternate systems of chapter division in Greek versions of the Old Testament, see Robert Devreesse, Introduction à l’étude des manuscrits grecs (Paris: Klincksieck, 1954), pp. 139-41. The major divisions in Vaticanus are called chapters, while those in Alexandrinus, which are the basis of the standard divisions used in Nestle-Aland (Novum Testamentum Graece [27th Edition] = NTG27) are called kephalaia.

An* 1. Introduction Eldon Jay Epp’s classic monograph, The Theological Tendency of Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis in the Acts, marked a watershed moment in contemporary text-critical scholarship. Epp attempted to chart a coherent picture of the theological tendencies in Codex Bezae (D05) through a systematic treatment of the D-variants.1) He argues that underpinning the distinctive variants of the D-text (or the “Western” text)2) are the scribal tendencies of a Gentile Christian perspective that portray the Jews, and their leaders, as responsible for the death of Jesus, and hostile toward His apostles. Epp’s study has generated both positive and negative reactions in the field of New Testament textual criticism.3) * Ph.D. in Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, USA.

  • T.C. Skeat on the Dating and Origin of Codex Vaticanus
    CHAPTER FIVE T.C. SKEAT ON THE DATING AND ORIGIN OF CODEX VATICANUS Biblical scholars are used to working with the text of Codex Sinaiticus [281] and Codex Vaticanus. We sometimes need to remind ourselves just how unique these manuscripts are. Both are codices on parchment that originally included the whole of the Bible. Even complete copies of the New Testament are rare: my count is only sixty-one manuscripts out of 5,000 New Testament manuscripts and not all those were originally composed as complete manuscripts; in some cases one of the sections was added by a different and later hand. Then the age of these manuscripts is remarkable—they are our oldest Bibles in Greek. (Their dates will be considered shortly.) The fact that they contain not only the New Testament but the com- plete Bible in Greek makes these, together with Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus exceptional. Even Latin pandects are rare. The fifty Bibles ordered by Constantine (about which more below) must therefore have been a very high proportion of all the complete Bibles written during the fourth century or, indeed, ever written. The commonly agreed dates for Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus are fourth century; Alexandrinus and Ephraemi Rescriptus are from the fifth century. Cavallo1 suggested dates of 350 for Codex Vaticanus and 360 for Codex Sinaiticus—those suggestions by a famed expert ought to be weighed carefully. Kenyon2 gives the date as “early fourth century” for both. We ought to remind ourselves what was happening in the Christian world at that time. There was a growing consensus about the content of the Christian [282] scriptures—the finally agreed canon was being shaped.

  • The Order of the Gospels in the Parent of Codex Bezae. 339
    J. Chapman, The order of the Gospels in the parent of Codex Bezae. 339 The order of the Gospels in the parent of Codex Bezae. By Dom J. Chapman, O. S. B. Erdington Abbey, Birmingham. Certain phenomena in Codex Bezae show that the Gospels are not given in the order of its archetype. They may be exhibited in the form of five arguments. It is to be remembered that the Gospels appear in the MS in the usual old Latin order: Mt Jo Lc MC. i. The punctuation of the MS consists "chiefly of a blank space between the words, or of a middle, sonietimes of an upper, very seldom of a lower single point, usually placed in the middle of a verse or crixoc, and found (äs in most other copies) much more thickly in some parts than in others: such a point is often set in the middle of a line, in passages whefe it is hard to see its use." So far Scrivener, p. xviii. Dr. Rendel Harris, on the other hand, has shown that the points, and perhaps the spaces, are traces of the original colometry of the arche- type, thus marked by the scribe, when he did not preserve the lines of his copy. Dr. Harris has pointed out their similarity to the points in the Curetonian Syriac and in the old Latin MS k (Study of Cod. Bezae, eh. xxiii; but contrast Burkitt, Evang. Da-Mepk. ii, p. 14). An examination of the points shows that they are very numerous in Matthew and in the early part of John.

  • Regalitatea Lui Dumnezeu N Viziunea Autorilor Psalmilor
    [Plērōma anul IX nr. 1 (2007) 5-34] IUNIA ŞI NIMFA – AVATARURILE UNOR IDENTITĂŢI FEMININE ÎN MANUSCRISELE GRECEŞTI, RESPECTIV TRADUCERILE ROMÂNEŞTI ALE NOULUI TESTAMENT prep. univ. drd. Emanuel Conţac Abstract The process of copying and translating the New Testament across the ages is sometimes bound to be affected by certain cultural predispositions of the scribes. Two passages where such tendencies can be identified are Romans 16:7 and Colossians 4:15, where two feminine names (Junia and Nympha, respectively) are understood as male names. The supposedly male identities are found in numerous manuscripts of the NT and in the vast majority of the Romanian NT translations, as shown by the present study. Introducere Odată cu ascensiunea studiilor feministe şi de gen, problematica identităţii feminine a început să facă obiectul unor cercetări intense în mai toate disciplinele umaniste sau înrudite cu acestea. Evident, nici domeniul studiilor biblice (Biblical Studies) nu a rămas neinfluenţat de noile tendinţe. Gama abordărilor este impresionantă, de la cele radicale, care denunţă vehement teologia tradiţională ca pe o emanaţie a culturii patriarhale şi misogine, propunând transformarea din temelii a establishmentului religios, 6 Emanuel Conţac până la cele care caută mai degrabă o reajustare a discursului teologic contemporan al Bisericii în lumina noilor cercetări, fără a-şi fi propus o revoluţionare a praxisului religios în sine. Dintre chestiunile puse pe tapet în perioada ultimelor decenii se detaşează cea privitoare la statutul femeilor în creştinismul timpuriu. Studii feministe recente afirmă ritos că, în zorii creştinismului, femeile slujeau alături de bărbaţi în funcţia de prezbiter, ba chiar şi de episcop.1 Alţi cercetători merg mai departe, considerând că a existat chiar şi o femeie printre apostoli – Iunia, menţionată în Epistola apostolului Pavel către Romani, 16:7.

    Codex formats of Pandect Bibles of the 4th / 5th century 4th c. 1. Codex format and columns of the Sinaiticus Ref. : Codex Sinaiticus Project: http://codexsinaiticus.org/en/. The original covers disappeared, the construction weakened and finally the one codex was divided up into several parts, single folios and fragments. The three-dimensional format of the codex as an integral whole can only be imagined with the help of the example of the Vaticanus (see below). It was a thick and large, not very practical volume, evidently not intended to be used in daily liturgical practice of church or monastery. Most probably the codex was kept in a library (of a Christian scriptorium somewhere in the East) and used as reference work for new handwritten copies. The original number of used sheets: 380 sheets were needed to produce the whole pandect Sinai codex (95 quires of 4 sheets per quire). When the codex is laid open one observes 4 small columns (writing space) per page and 8 columns (read from left to right), providing a broad overview for the reader. In the middle part of the codex, where the Psalms and the Wisdom books were incorporated, the writing shifts from 4 to 2 (somewhat lengthier) columns per page and 4 columns over 2 folio-pages. At present the folio-dimensions are 38 cm in height and 34,5 cm in width. The inner margins are smaller than the outer margins. The upper margins are smaller than the lower margins. Large format verso recto 4 columns (writing space) 4 columns (writing space) 38 cm 34.5 cm 34.5 cm 4th c.
