I haven’t had time to go down this rabbit hole myself, but linked here is apparently a hand-written copy of Paul’s epistles made by the famous Swiss reformer, Ulrich Zwingli. The date is 1517. Pretty cool. If you know more, please share in the comments.
It must be disappointing to leave a large space for a decorative initial but then have to go back and just write a little pi into that space!
ReplyDeleteSee Wetstein, NT, vol 2, ms P 56; Tischendorf Maior 7, P 56. P 56 is empty "Vacat" in Gregory's Prolegomena to Tischendorf's Maior 8. A copy from Erasmus 1516?
ReplyDeleteSo when does it get a GA number? Other MSS apparently copied from TR editions in the same time period already have such.
ReplyDeleteFor a description of the ms, see: Das bessere Bild Christi: Das Neue Testament in der Ausgabe des Erasmus von Rotterdam : Begleitpublikation zur Ausstellung "Das bessere Bild Christi, die Ausgabe des Neuen Testaments von 1516", 24. Juni bis 12. November 2016 in Basler Münster. Ed. U. Dill, Petra Schierl. Basel 2016,. p. 157.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember going down this rabbit hole some time ago, but I don't remember much from it. Here is Zwingli's copy of Erasmus' 1519 Annotationes though: https://www.e-rara.ch/zuz/content/titleinfo/18967446
ReplyDeleteMaurice, I think there is some inconsistency on GA numbers for copies of TRs. My guess is that if a manuscript was not known to be a copy of a TR, it got one, but if it was known to be a copy of a TR, it did not (again—just a guess on my part). That scenario, if accurate, would explain why Codex Ravianus (of Comma Johanneum fame) does not have a GA number.
Speaking of GA numbers, Greg Paulson has been busy filling in the numbers up through GA-2999.
