I30 EPISTLES OF S. IGNATIUS.
an account of Bp Gray's library see MuUinger University of Cambridge
p. 397. The Ignatian matter begins on fol.
103 a. It comprises (i)
Tlie twelve Epistles, (2) The Laus Heronis, and is followed by the
Epistle of Polycarp.
This ms was used by Ussher.
11. Palaiimis 150, in the Vatican Library; collated by Dressel
who describes it
(p. Ivii ; comp. p. Hx) as ' membranous, foliis quaternariis
min., saeculi xiv.' It has since been collated by A. Mau for
Lagarde, who ascribes it to the 15 th century (p. iii).
The Ignatian
matter commences the volume, and consists of the twelve Epistles, followed
by the Laus Heronis. The subsequent contents are the Epistle
of Polycarp, seven Epistles of S. Antonius Abbas, the Pastor of Hermas
(a second Latin version, not found in any other ms and published for
the first time by Dressel), and the EncJiiridion of Xystus the Pythagorean.
Is this the Vatican ms which Turrianus, quoted by Ussher
(p. cxxii), mentions as omitting the name of S. Paul in Philad. 4' It
fulfils the condition.
12. Laiirentiatms PI. xxiii. Cod. 20, in the Medicean Library at
Florence, described in Bandini's Catal. Cod. Lat. Bibl. Latir. i.
p. 727
sq as 'codex membranaceus MS in folio saec. xv.' The earher part
of the volume contains the correspondence of Paulinus of Nola.
Then follows the Ignatian matter, which consists of (i)
The correspondence
with the Virgin, preceded by the testimonies of Hieronymus
and others, (2) The twelve Epistles, (3) The Laus Heronis, followed by
(4) The Epistle of Polycarp. Upon this follow immediately 228 (fol. b)
the seven Epistles of S. Antonius, as in Palat. 150. The other treatises
however are not the same in the two i\iss.
13. Vindobonensis 1068, in the Imperial Library at Vienna, described
in Denis Bibl Cod. MSS Theol. Bibl Palat Vindob. Latin. 11. p. 874
(where it is numbered cccxci) as ' cod. membraneus sec. xiv.' It is
written in a very small neat hand, and contains among other works (i)
fol. 72 b, The Epistle of Polycarp, followed immediately by (2) Hieronymus
de Vir. Ill 16, with the heading ' leronimus in libro illustrium
and (3)
The
virorum capitulo de beato Ignatio in hunc modum scribit,'
twelve Ignatian Epistles in the usual order. In prefixing the Epistle
of Polycarp this MS is unique. The other treatises in the volume do
not throw any light on its connexion with other Ignatian mss.
14. Oxon. Magdaknensis 76, in the Library of Magdalen College,
Oxford, described in Coxe's Catal Cod. AISS Coll. Oxon. 11. p. 43 sq
