MANUSCRIPTS,
ETC.
Note that all these MSS follow (with variations, see especially 15
and g) the Paul-form of the Pericope, except h and i,
which give the
Mara-form, while / gives both.
Presumably the copies of Bar Salibi's
Commentary in the Brit. Mus. (Catal., R.-F., XLIII, Wright, DCCXXII)
and in the Biblioth. Nat. (Catal., 67, 68) also include both forms.
All the above I have myself collated, except #, for which I have
followed Bernstein. The Rev. George Margoliouth, of the Brit. Mus.,
has kindly re-collated for me MSS h and f.
