Sizes of the Original Parchment Sheets of the Pandect Bibles of the 4Th / 5Th Century Sizes of the original parchment sheets of the Pandect Bibles of the 4th / 5th century The original covers of codex Sinaiticus have been lost in earlier ages and the remaining portions bound under new covers. The main body of the codex, kept in London (British Library), was rebound in two volumes with Latin titles (Testamentum Vetus , Testamentum Novum ). However, the division into two volumes, a division which is accentuated by the two added titles that are not very representative for the authentic Byzantine Bible books included, does not correspond to the authentic unity of the manuscript. The original unity is broken, and a twofold partition is not justified on codicological grounds. The Leipzig part, still kept in the University Library there, was rebound under modern covers too in later times (see Gardthausen). In the following diagrams we provide the sizes of the original sheets of parchment skins (height × width), which were used height width for codex Sinaiticus, before the sheets were folded and structured into quires (in quaternions , formed by eight folios per quire). 38 cm × 69 cm The provided dimensions are indicative, because the sheets of the original codex were cutt off for rebinding reasons (see Milne/Skeat). (40 cm) (70 cm) Between brackets are also given the (plausible) measurements of the rough hides before they were cut into the required formats. And the sizes of codex Vaticanus, codex Alexandrinus and codex Ephraemi Syri Rescriptus (see below) have been added for comparison. Codex Vaticanus has been preserved in a more integral form. Yet, the original covers and a considerable part of beginning (Genesis) height width and the end (Apocalypse) also disappeared in the course of time, to reappear later. This codex has threefold columns, 27 cm × 54 cm twofold in the poetical section. In more recent times modern covers were made and a splended facsimile of the restored codex (30 cm) (55 cm) was produced. Most importantly, the unity of the codex remained intact over the ages, up until the present day. Codex Alexandrinus was also divided up into several parts and the original covers were lost. height width The codex was restored, rebound in a new quire structure (in ternions) and divided up in four volumes. 32 cm × 56 cm Some parts of the codex (especially from the beginning of the NT; a great deal of Matthew is missing) (35 cm) (60 cm) disappeared over the long ages of its history. The pages have a two column design in all divisions. Codex Ephraemi Syri rescriptus was re-used (palimpsest) in the 12th century and 38 orations from the ascetical works of height width Ephraim the Syrian in Greek translation, in minuscule script and in two columns, were written on its sheets. 33 cm × 54 cm The underlying script, however was deciphered and appeared to be a bible (maybe originally a complete codex), (35 cm) (55 cm) with the greatest part of the OT Oktateuch, Historical books and Prophets missing, or not re-used by the scribe of Ephraims asketika. Portions of Job and the six Wisdom books were preserved, as were large portions of the NT, written in majuscule characters and in one column. 4th c. 1.

  • A New English Translation of the Septuagint. 07 Judges
    07-Jdg-NETS-4.qxd 11/10/2009 10:21 PM Page 195 JUDGES TO THE READER EDITION OF GREEK TEXT To date there is no fully critical edition of LXX Judges. The Göttingen edition has not yet appeared, and the edition of Brooke and Maclean is a “diplomatic” edition in which the main text is basically that of Codex Vaticanus (B). The NETS translation of Judges, therefore, is based on A. Rahlfs, Septuaginta. Id est Vetus Testamentum graece iuxta LXX interpretes, 2 vols.(Stuttgart: Württembergische Bibelanstalt, 1935). In Judges Rahlfs based his edition on the readings of about twenty manuscripts. He identified two main textual traditions, which he believed were so diverse that they amounted to separate recensions (editions) of the book. He printed these as separate texts, designated A and B. NETS Judges, accordingly, offers a translation of both the A and the B texts. Rahlfs based his A text upon Codex Alexandrinus (A) and two groups of manuscripts representing the recensions of the LXX associated, respectively, with Origen (c. 185–253 CE) and Lucian (c. 250–312 CE). His B text was based upon Codex Vaticanus (B). OVERVIEW OF THE TEXT(S) OF JUDGES Subsequent scholarship has refined Rahlfs’ classifications. The manuscripts which are seen as witnesses to an A-type of text are now divided into three groups, AI, AII and AIII, of which AI corresponds fairly closely to Rahlfs’ “Origenic” manuscripts, and AII to his “Lucianic” manuscripts. Similarly, the B-type of text is now held to be represented by two related but distinct manuscript groups.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Diagram 3. List of All Books of OT and NT Originally Belonging to Codex Sinaiticus
    Diagram 3. List of all books of OT and NT originally belonging to codex Sinaiticus On the basis of the overview provided in Diagram 2 and 4 we present now an over-all view of all the books which were originally included in the codex. The gaps of books are compared with codex Vaticanus. The larger divisions and titles (in upper margins and at the end of books) are the shortest possible indication of the liturgical grouping of the books. The larger divisions are marked in the codex through 1) blank pages and columns; 2) the organisation of the quire structure (new quire at the beginning of larger sections), 3) the grouping of the individual books qua content, according to the usage of these books in the religious communities for reading, explanation and study. See Diagram 4 (Extended Short Catalogue) for the titles and the indicated beginnings and ends according to the succession of books in codex context. The list below is based on the reconstruction model of Milne/Skeat (1938) and CBM' s Extended Short Catalogue description in Diagram 4. The original and present state of preservation of codex Sinaiticus are compared: The originally included books of OT and NT together (listed are all individual books or letters, which have a particular title at the head, in the middle and at the end of the writings): OT part of the codex comprised 48 books and 1 letter. The NT part of the codex includes 7 books and 23 letters (Barnabas and the Shepherd included). Originally was the sum total of included books in the Sinaiticus: 55 books and 23 letters.

    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.

  • The Text of Jude 4
    The text of Jude 4 CHLandon University of Stellenbosch Abstract The article analyses three variation units and one singu­ lar reading from the text of Jude 4. Following the ratio­ nale of thoroughgoing eclecticism, it concentrates on internal evidence. The most problematic variation unit is 6€anóxTii/ versus 8e<niÓTTH/ 0cóv. Transcriptional arguments can be advanced in favour of either of these variants. To resolve the conflicting transcriptional evi­ dence, an ‘etymological narrative’ is provided to esta­ blish the Attic and Judaeo-Hellenic background of the word BeomÓTTii' as a metaphor applicable to the gods or to God. The etymological narrative and other intrinsic arguments suggest that SecrrtÓTni' refers to God, and that therefore an eclectic preference for the variant 8eaTtÓTTiu 0eóv can be expressed. 1. INTRODUCTION Despite the fact that ‘[cjonsidering the brevity of Jude, the textual critical problems are numerous and difficult’ (Bauckham 1988:3792), thus far only four verses in Jude have generated text-critical discussions in journals and edited monographs.i Albin’s (1962) Swedish text-critical analysis of Jude as a whole remains the seminal work. Five factors can be enumerated in favour of a modem reappraisal of the text-critical problems in Jude as a whole: * The publication ofand * The publication ofp ^ \ The rinancial assistance of the Centre for Science Development (HSRC, South Africa) towards this research is hereby acknowledged.
