Notes

Revilla-Andrés 447.
Nota Antiqua ψ.ii.12.
Miller no. 443.

Parchment, 13th cent., in six hands. The Cappadocian Fathers and other ecclesiastical works; see Revilla-Andrés in Online Resources for detailed description and (p. 39) provenance.

Slight water-damage does not affect legibility, but there seems to be a hole (5-6 lines in height on a page of about 38 lines, and from about 4-14 letters in breadth) in pages 17r-18v. Fragment of Evang. secundum Marcum in beautiful Latin Gothic script at the end.

Note: the first work included is wrongly identified in the manuscript, and hence in the catalogue, as being Basil of Cæsarea's De Virginitate (Ὁμιλία Περὶ Παρθενίας, TLGl 2040.012), whereas it is actually the De Virginitate of Basil of Ancyra (Περὶ τῆς ἐν Παρθενίᾳ Ἀληθοῦς Ἀφθορίας πρὸς Λητοῖον Ἐπίσκοπον Μελιτήνης, TLG 2084.001).
