Contents ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY This magnificent catalogue is the fruit of the close and valuable co-operation between Lambeth Palace Library and the Hellenic Institute of Royal Holloway, University of Lon- don. It has as its basis the brief inventory of the Lambeth Greek manuscripts, prepared under the direction of the late Miss Julian Chrysostomides and Dr Charalambos Dendri- nos for the 21st International Congress of Byzantine Studies in August 2006, but goes far beyond it in scholarly detail. I believe it not only provides a rich resource for bib- lical, patristic, and liturgical scholars, but also builds on the longstanding links between Orthodoxy and the Church of England which are so precious to us. I pray this may serve us well in the continued common journey of faith and friendship, to which we are called together by Christ. I offer my very warm thanks to Mr Anastasios P. Leventis, Mrs Edmée Leventis and the A. G. Leventis Foundation for their most generous financial support for the pro- ject, to the research team — Dr Christopher Wright, Miss Maria Argyrou, and Dr Char- alambos Dendrinos — for their dedicated labours, and to the members of the Project Board and all who helped ensure the success of the project for their moral, scholarly and technical support. The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, The Commemoration of All Saints, November 2014. Lambeth Palace, London SE1 7JU Preface Introduction and Acknowledgements Cataloguing the Greek Manuscripts of Lambeth Palace Library The present Catalogue is the fruit of a long-standing and on-going collaboration between Lambeth Palace Library (LPL) and the Hellenic Institute of Royal Holloway, Univer- sity of London (RHUL). Since 2003, postgraduate students have been visiting LPL at the invitation of the former and present Librarians and Archivists, Dr Richard Palmer (1991‒2010) and Giles Mandelbrote (2010‒present), to examine and study Greek MSS as part of their training in Greek palæography and codicology. On 23‒24 August 2006, an exhibition of the LPL Greek Manuscript Collection was or- ganised jointly by LPL and the Hellenic Institute of Royal Holloway as part of the 21st International Congress of Byzantine Studies in London. It included the following sec- tions: Doctrine; Liturgy and Spirituality; Byzantium, its Provinces and Neighbours; Before and after Byzantium; and From Manuscript to Print. The final section, on Anglicanism and Or- thodoxy, included printed books, documents and photographs illustrating the dialogue, past and present, between the two Churches. More importantly, the exhibition catalogue comprised the first ever complete inventory of the LPL Greek manuscripts, compiled by a team of graduate students including Maria Argyrou, Dr Laura Franco, Dr Maria Kalli, Dr Fevronia Nousia, Dr Konstantinos Palaiologos and Dr Christopher Wright, guided by the late Julian Chrysostomides (1928‒2008) and the undersigned. This inventory was the first stage towards the compilation of a complete descriptive catalogue. In the Preface, the then Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams ex- pressed his intention ‘to make these important manuscripts at last fully available to the scholarly world’ and his wish that this inventory would be followed ‘by their eagerly anticipated full catalogue’. The present catalogue is in fulfilment of this intention and wish on the part of the Anglican Church, and provides a research tool for students and scholars who would like to further explore this important collection. The catalogue comprises a brief history of LPL by Dr Richard Palmer; a history of the relations between the Anglican and Orthodox Churches by the late John Barron and Clare Brown; sections on the Provenance and History of the LPL Greek sub-collections and a general discussion of notable features of MSS of the Greek collection by Dr Chris- topher Wright; and the description of the MSS, preceded by a note on the conventions adopted in the entries of the catalogue and followed by a glossary and indexes of au- thors, binders, minor hands, MSS cited, other persons, owners, places and scribes, as well as a composite index, compiled by Dr Wright, Maria Argyrou and Philip Taylor. The catalogue is technically innovative in several respects: for example, the typeset output was generated directly from the XML source material, the various indexes, table of contents and embedded hyperlinks were all generated automatically, the text was automatically re-flowed to accommodate the images, and the translucent watermarks that are superimposed on the high-resolution images linked from the image captions are added dynamically as each image is served; all of this is accomplished using bespoke code wrien specifically for the project by Mr Taylor, who was also responsible for the design and typeseing of the catalogue. The research was conducted over a period of two academic years (2012‒2014) by Dr Wright and Ms Argyrou under the guidance of a team of scholars and experts, mem- bers of the Project Board, who monitored its progress and offered their expert advice: Clare Brown, LPL Archivist; Dr Annaclara Cataldi Palau, Visiting Professor of Greek ~ 7 ~ Introduction and Acknowledgements Palæography at RHUL Hellenic Institute; Dr Rachel Cosgrave, LPL Senior Archivist; Dr Pat Easterling, Emeritus Regius Professor of Greek, Cambridge University; Giles Mandelbrote, LPL Librarian and Archivist and Chairman of the Project Board; Revd Dr Joseph A. Munitiz, S.J., former Master of Campion Hall, Oxford University; Professor Nicholas Pickwoad, Director of the Ligatus
