Notes
Bodleianus Holkhamicus græcus 114 (olim Earl of Leicester 3).
Aland / Gregory 557
Soden ε 356
Scrivener 524
Dated to the 12th century in De Ricci and to the 13th in Aland. Often paired with Bod. Holkham gr. 115 (also on our OXF.1.1), q.v.
Bibliographical material (not seen by us) apparently also includes Bodleian Library Record 4.5 (1953) 255-267 (David Rogers, "The Holkham Collection") and BLR 5.2 (1954) 61-62 (Th. Lockey, ''Greek Manuscripts from Holkham''). As of this writing, Bodley's website lists the latter as Ruth Barbour, "Greek manuscripts from Holkham", but we have not determined if which of these is correct. See De Ricci for provenance (up to 1932).
Bod. Holkham gr. 114 & 115 are not in BLR 6.5 (1960) 591-613 (Barbour, "Summary Description of the Greek Manuscripts from the Library at Holkham Hall", which we have seen and which ends with Bod. Holkham gr. 113!).
From abstract of Hassall (see Bibliography and Online Resources): "Ms. 3 and 4 (now held at Bodleian, Oxford: Holkham Greek mss. 114 and 115). Ms. 3, each Holkham Ms. 3, a 13th century copy with each gospel preceded by author portrait, illuminated title and scenes from the life of Christ. Filmed with Ms. 4, an 11th century copy with each evangelist pictured seated at a desk accompanied by his evangelical symbol, a rare device at this date."
