114 EPISTLES OF S. IGNATIUS.

5. Fan's. Graec. 937, formerly Colbert. 4443, described in the Catal.
MSS Bibl. Reg. 11. p. 183, where it is assigned to the i6th century.
This MS has every appearance of being a facsimile of the last-mentioned.
The title page, commencement, headings, etc, and general
appearance are exactly the same. Moreover the Epistles of Ignatius,
Polycarp, and Barnabas, are followed by the same three treatises of
Hippolytus. In the Paris ms however after these treatises other works
are added (see the Catal. 1.
c), which are wanting in the Laurentian.
The Epistle of Ignatius to Polycarp ends in this ms in the same way as
in the preceding, 7; ya-pi^ tVws tov 6eov etrj fxeO' vfjiMv.
In the only
portion for which I have examined both mss carefully — the Epistle of
Polycarp — the phenomena suggest that Paris. Graec. 937 was copied
directly from Laurent, vii. 21, or (if not so) was a second transcript
made from the same ms about the same time ; e.g. in § 4 the marginal
reading of the Laurentian /xo'/aos o-KOTrcirai is introduced into the text of
the Parisian. But possibly a closer examination of other parts might
show that the relation is not quite so simple.
6. Paris. Sicppl. Graec. 341, a small 4to written on paper a volume
of miscellaneous contents, containing various works, some in manuscript
(apparently in different hands), some printed.
At the end of the
first part, which is chiefly occupied with the treatise of Gregory Nyssen
TTcpi Karao-Kcv^s aj/^pw7rou, the transcriber has written on a blank leaf
(fol. 91b)' Patavii exscriptum anno ab incarnatione servatoris nostri
Jesu Christi m.d. xxxii'. After the second part, which contains the
Christus Patiens,
is written 'Venetiis anno salutis m.d. xxxv sextodecimo
Cal. Octobris '.
The two printed works which are bound up in
the volume bear the dates 1558 and 1553 respectively. The Ignatian
Epistles stand at the end of the manuscript portion, and immediately
before the printed works. It may be inferred therefore that they were
written somewhere about the middle of the i6th century.
Cotelier in his preface states that for the Ignatian Epistles he
made use of 'codice Claudii Jolii praecentoris ecclesiae Parisiensis'.
He gives the various readings of this manuscript in his margin,
designating it simply 'ms', without mentioning the name'. This
Zahn, by no fault of his own, has gives the v. 1. of our ms as rriv twv 'Ionbeen
