    THE MSS. OF ORIGEN'S COMMENTARIES ON S. JOHN.

    OF the extant manuscripts of the Commentaries on S. John,three only have been used by the editors. So far as I have been

    able to discover, there are seven in existence. If we count Thorn-dike's transcription of the Bodleian Manuscript, there are eight.The existence of a ninth is doubtful, but this question will be

    moreeasily

    discussed later on.The

    three which seem to have

    been used by the editors are at Paris, Rome and Oxford. The

    similarity of the text contained in them and the fact that they all

    contained many common lacunae, pointed to their derivation froma near common ancestor. The following pages are an attempt toshew that this ancestor still exists, though unfortunately in a bad

    state of preservation, in the Library at Munich.

    The Manuscripts are as follows :I. Codex Monacensis. In the Munich State Library, Graec.

    cxci; thus described in the Catalogue,

    "Bombycinus charta obso-

    leta et laesa atramento flavescente literis minutis et elegantibus

    frequenti abbreviatione in folio, if. 305, saec. xni. foliorum ordine

    turbato male conservatus et inscriptus v\. pifi', Origenis Comm.in Matt, et Jn."

    Of the Commentaries on S. John it contains Bks. 1. 2. 6. 10.

    13. 19. 20. 28. 32 (33 according to Hardt's Catalogue, but this is

    an error). Thus the MS. follows the true division of the Books.

    The Ferrarian division (that invented or adopted by Ambrosius

    Ferrarius in his translation) into 32 books is added in the margin

    by a later hand.

    Minuscules are used, hangingfrom ruled

    lines,there

    beingone

    column of 30 lines on each page, in the Commentaries on S. John.

    2 THE FRAGMENTS OF HERACLEON.

    The Commentaries on S. Matthew are in another hand and contain36 lines on a page. In both red semi-capitals are often used at

    the beginning of sentences, but not uniformly. The MS. is stainedat the top and bottom, and worm-eaten in many places. The orderof the folios in S. Matthew is much confused, and one or two pagesare wanting.

    The title-page of the MS. has the following description :

    "Origenis in D. Matt. Ev. tomus 11 init. mut. 12. 13. 14. 15.

    16. et in evang. Johann. torn. 1. 2. 6. 9. 13. 19. 20. 32."

    In the middle of the page are the arms, below which is written :

    "Ex electorali Bibliotheca sereniss. utriusque Bavariae Ducum."This description is inaccurate. Most of Bk. x. of the Comm.

    in Matt, is there, and also Bk. xvn. And with regard to theComm. in Joann. 9 is a mistake for 10, and 28 should have beeninserted.

    Huet mentions a MS. of the Commentaries on S. Matthew inhis Origeniana in. iii. 12. "In Catalogo librorum ducis Bavariae

    notatur Tomus Undecimus initio quoque mutilus cum proximesequentibus quinque." And as to the Commentaries on S. John hewas again misinformed. "Eosdem (i.e. 1. 2. 6. 10. 13. 19. 20. 28.

    32) complectitur Tomos praeter decimum et vigesimum octavummemoratus liber in bibliothecae Bavaricae Catalogo" (ill. iii. 14).

    The 10th and the 28th books are contained, as well as the rest, inthe Manuscript. The Catalogue which he used must have hadthe same mistakes which occur on the title-page of the MS.

    The Commentaries on S. John are preceded by a short prefacestating that in the archetype of the MS. were several marginalnotes drawing attention to Origen's blasphemies, which, the scribe

    says, he has copied as he found them.

    II. Codex Venetus. In the Bibliotheca Marciana at Venice,Graec. 32. The title as given in the MS. itself is

    et? TO Kara MarOaiov KOI KCUT laydvvrjv

    /cap$r]va\. ratv Toi/.

    The MS. is dated 1374. It is written in minuscules hangingfrom ruled lines, with one column of 36 lines on a page, and about

    60 letters in each line. It consists of ff. 330 of which ff. 1 117

    contain the Comm. in Matt. Bks. 10 17 (inclusive). F. 118 con-tains a preface on Origen's blasphemy, beginning TroXXtSu (JLCV and

    ending teal avOis a^rw^eOa. This preface has nothing to do with

    the preface in the Munich Codex concerning the marginal notes in

    its ancestor. The words TOV /3a9 at the head of this prefacepoint probably to some connexion with Constantinople. Ff. 112

    (recto) 294 (verso) contain the Commentaries on S. John. So

    far the folios are numbered. The remainder, to 330, are left blankand unnumbered.

    This MS. was used by Ambrosius Ferrarius, who in A.D. 1551translated the Commentaries on S. John into Latin. They are

    divided in the MS. into 32 books. "A callido librario in Tomostriginta duos distributus fuit, hac arte lacunas et hiatus celare, et

    apud incautos dissimulare, et pro integro venditare volente," saysHuet. The fraud is sufficiently patent; if conviction were necessary,we have only to look at the fragments quoted as from the fourthand fifth books of the Commentaries in the Philocalia. The diver-

    gences between the text of this MS. and Ferrarius's translation are

    not more than can be accounted for by the loose and paraphrasticcharacter of translations of that time, or by the necessity of original

    composition to which he was sometimes reduced in consequence of .

    his inability to understand the Greek, which is in some places too

    corrupt for conjecture.At the end of the MS. the following note has been added :

    "Fuit copiatus per Georgium Triphonium

    di

    Maluasiae et finitto ad X Ottobr. 1555."

    To this we shall have occasion to refer when we are dealingwith the seventh manuscript. The same scribe is known to havebeen working at Venice also in 1548 (see Gardthausen, Griechische

    Palaeographie, p. 322).

    4 THE FRAGMENTS OF HERACLEON.

    In the early parts of the Commentaries on S. Matthew the

    folios are inwrong

    order and there arelarge

    lacunae. The Codexis written in minuscules hanging from ruled lines. This was the

    MS. on which Huet based his text, though his text is not identicalwith that of the MS., as Delarue seems often to have assumed. It

    was used by Perionius in his translation of the Commentaries on

    S. John.

    IV. Codex Bodleianus. Misc. 58: used by Delarue. This

    MS. is described in the Bodleian Catalogue as being of the 17thCentury. Its resemblance to II. is very close. It is now boundin three volumes of which the first contains ff. 183, the second

    183, and the third 182. It contains only the Commentaries on

    S. John. In the margin it has two sets of emendations. The first

    are introduced by the word Ta%a and are for the most part based

    on Ferrarius's Latin Version. The second, which are distinguished

    by the word Ifo-w?, are later and inferior. In the copy of Huetbelonging to the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, Bentleyhas noted in the margin a great many readings from this MS.,

    though apparently he did not make a full collation1

    .

    V. Codex Barberinus I. In the Barberini Library at Rome ;of the 15th or 16th Century, in the opinion of the Librarian,

    M. 1' Abbs' Pieralisi. It contains the Commentaries on S. Matthew

    6 THE FRAGMENTS OF HERACLEON.

    VIII. The transcription of Codex Bodleianus (IV.) made byHerbert Thorndike needs no further

    description.It is now in the

    Library of Trinity College, Cambridge (numbered B. 9. 11). It is

    not without value however, as the writer has inserted several con-

    jectural emendations in the margin, and there are also three pagesof critical notes at the beginning.

    IX. The existence of a ninth MS. is doubtful. In Miller's

    Catalogue of the Escurial Library, pp. 305 ff., is given a list, found in

    one of the Escurial MSS. (x. i. 15), of the Greek Manuscripts whichbelonged to Cardinal Sirlet's Library, and passed into the posses-sion of Cardinal Ottoboni (Alexander VIII.). Subsequently Bene-

    dict XIV. is said to have placed them in the Vatican. Amongthese is a MS. containing Origen's Commentaries on S. Matthew

    and S. John, and Philo Hepl TOV fiiov TOV Mwo-ew?, Tlepl TOV ftlovTTO\ITIKOV (Joseph), and Tlepl VOIMWV wypdfytov (Abraham). In

    the Catalogue of the Ottobonian part of the Vatican Library,which has not yet been published, but exists in manuscript in the

    Vatican, I could find no trace of it. But the description answers

    very nearly to the MS. now in the Barberini, which I have num-bered V. Is it possible that this MS. passed from the hands of

    any of its former owners into the possession of the Barberini ? If

    not, we must suppose that this MS. has been lost, unless indeedthe MS. Catalogue of the Ottobonian Manuscripts is incomplete.Delarue constantly refers to a

    ' Codex Barberinus/ and generallythe readings he quotes from it would seem to be taken from No. V ;but his citations are not always accurate. The existence of two

    manuscripts in the Barberini does not seem to have been knownto any one.

    Therelations of these

    MSS.to

    one another must now be con-sidered. For the sake of clearness I subjoin a diagram shewingwhat I conceive their relations to be. After this I propose to

    consider the relations (1) of the Munich Codex to those MSS.which seem to be directly copied from it, (2) of the Venice Codex

    to those which are, I believe, its descendants, and (3) of the

    Venice to the Munich MS.

    1. (a) Let us then consider first the relation of the ParisCodex to that at Munich. The contents of the two are practicallythe same, so far as concerns the subject of our present enquiry.

    THE MSS. OF ORIGEN S COMMENTARIES ON S. JOHN.

    (i) As pointed out above, the statement that the God. Monac.contains of the Comm. in Matt. Books xi. (mutilated) to XVI. isincorrect. It contains also most of Book X., and Book xvn. The

    mistake as to the latter point has arisen from the fact that Books

    XVI. and xvii. are not divided as the other books are. But the

    last words contained in this part of the MS. are eTricn-ptyat, TT/OO?avrov, the

    endingof Book xvii. ; and a calculation of pages easily

    shews that both Books xvi. and xvii. are contained in the MS., for

    Book XV. begins on f. 62, Book xvi. on f. 77, and the Comm. inMatt, end on f. 110. Thus while Book XV. takes only ff, 15, what

    is called Book xvi. takes 33, though in Lommatzsch's edition

    Books XV. and xvi. cover very nearly the same number of pageseach. In the Comm. in Joann. there is no difference of contents,

    are not in right order, but the first words which occur (they are

    on f. 255) are Trd\w bpoia e

    lected during this period.

    2. (a) The relation of the Bodleian MS. to that at Venice isnot hard to determine. Their divergences are very slight, beingfor the most part ordinary transcriptional blunders or corrections,and even of these there is only a very small number. The rest

    may be explained by the fact that the scribe of the Bodleian MS.

    knew Greek. Direct proofs of copying are afforded in someplaces.

    of course no conclusion can be drawn. The fact that the Com-mentaries on S. Matthew begin at the beginning of the 10th Book

    (rore dfals TOI)? o^\oi/s), considered in connexion with the date

    of the MS. (saec. xv. or xvi.), proves that it belongs to the Venice

    as opposed to the Munich group, and the division into 32 books

    points to the same conclusion. The following readings tend to

    prove the identity of its text with that of Codex Venetus.

    (c) The correspondence of the cryptograph in the MS. atMadrid with the note at the end of Codex Venetus is sufficient

    proof of the origin of the former. And with this the informationwhich I have received as to the text agrees. The lacunae in thetext (Lommatzsch i. pp. 11, 14, 18, 36, 41, 43), which occur in theCod. Venetus and which will be discussed more fully in the next

    section, are also found here. And in the case of p. 41, the sug-gestion found in Cod. Ven. in the margin (ol^ai 7rapacrxf.iv ryv

    margin.It can easily be shewn that O. 47 is copied from the 1st part of

    the Venice MS. which contains the Commentaries on S. Matthew.Thus the colophons at Madrid exactly agree with the note in theVenice MS., except that the latter has October 10 instead of

    October 2. As we can hardly imagine that the preface (TroXXcG^TOV 'Qpi

    letters.

    (3) ea-rlv is, I think, not contained in it. The words are

    illegible, but the ink has to some extent stayed on the oppositeleaf. Reading backwards, I thought I could trace somewhat as

    follows :

    THE MSS. OF ORIGEN'S COMMENTARIES ON s. JOHN. 17

    guides for conjectural restoration. The Venice Codex is our best

    authority for this group of the MSS. of the Comm. in Matt,in the

    placeswhere Cod. Monacensis is now

    defective,as the

    other direct copies of this MS. have apparently been made sinceits mutilation. The alterations introduced by the scribe of

    Cod. Yen. frequently deserve consideration, and are not seldom

    obviously right.The marginal notes on blasphemy suggest the possibility

    of the suppression of some passages on account of the doctrine

    contained in them. But all the lacunae and there are several inCod. Monac. due to its original, besides those due to the damagedone to the MS. itself cannot be explained by this hypothesis : of

    this Bk. XIIL c. 32 will serve as an example. But while muchmust be given up as no longer recoverable, a good deal of light

    may be thrown on the text of many passages in the Commentaries

    by the use of Cod. Monac. With a view to further work on themI made a collation in September 1889 of the Commentaries onS. John.

    Huet knew of the Manuscript, but does not seem to haveused it. He occasionally agrees with it against the Paris MS.on which his text was based, but such readings are probablyemendations of his own, or were suggested by the versions.

    Throughthe version of Ferrarius he became

    acquaintedwith

    a text like that of the Venice MS.Delarue's wider knowledge whether he had examined any

    MSS. himself I cannot discover is marred by inaccuracy ofstatement as to the readings contained in MSS. In particularhe seems to have taken it for granted that any reading adopted

    by Huet in his text was necessarily that contained in the

    Paris Codex. The undue influence of this Codex, which it hasexercised owing to its relation to Huet's text, must be set aside.

    But when all has been done that is possible by the ordinarymethods of textual criticism, a large sphere will remain in which

    conjectural emendation alone can be of any avail.

    The notes of Th. Mangey preserved in the British Museum

    (MSS. Add. 6428) do not contain fresh material. Those on the

    Commentaries on S. John appear to be a partial collation of

    Huet's text with something of the type of Cod. Venetus, not the

    Bodleian MS. which is at times mentioned separately. Possiblyhe was working with the Codex Barberinus of that type. But

    whatever his sourcewas,

    it containsnothing helpful

    which is not

    otherwise known.

    It may be worth while to bring together here some examplesfrom Cod. Monac. of important New Testament Readings ofan ancient type, which have been subsequently brought into

    conformity with the ordinary Syrian text, either by its correctors

    or in its descendants. These will be sufficient to shew that it

    may throw some further light on the problem of the text ofthe New Testament used by Origen, while they will serve toillustrate the manner in which the text of quotations from theNew Testament has been handled in the MSS. of the Fathers.

    In the following list of some pre-Syrian readings supported by Cod.Monac. I have added in a few cases interesting readings from the other MSS.

    In these cases the MS. authority is added in brackets.

    N.B. It will be seen that in the above list I have given some examplesof readings not pre-Syrian. These are cases of attestation where further

    examination of the Manuscripts of Origen has corrected or supplementedDelarue's

    information,on which of course Tischendorf

    depended. Thereferences to Tischendorf are to his critical digest in locc. His references

    to Origen (e.g. Or4 ' 220

    )refer to the volume and page in Delarue's edition.

    It only remains to say a few words about Catenae on S. John.

    At Munich there are two fragments attributed to Origen in aCatena of the xith century (Gr. 437). At Home there are severalin the Catenae Vat. 1423, Regin. 9. The larger fragment in theMunich Catena occurred also with considerable variations in

    Regin. 9. I was unable at Rome to do more than glance at these

    fragments. The fragments pointed to the same conclusions as

    may be drawn from an examination of those published by Cor-derius from an Antwerp MS. Most of them at any rate mighthave come from Origen 's pen, so far as opinions are concerned.

    But in the comparatively few instances where they cover commonground with the extant Commentaries, the text and even the

    contents are either wholly different or widely divergent. Someof them have the appearance of being taken from Homilies, others

    from eTrKTrjfjLeittHreis. The nearest agreement with the extant

    Commentaries was in the case of two fragments in Regin. 9, where

    the text of Orig. Comm. in Joann. XXXII. 11 a-Tj/jLeitocrr) Be rlva

    rpoTTov a'rjfjLau'OfjLevti) and 13 evret ovv tye/crav (Lomm. p. 435and p. 449) occurred almost exactly, but in each case the rest of22

    32/130

    20 THE FRAGMENTS OF HERACLEON.

    the fragment was different from the text of the Commentaries.

    Nor was the result of a closer examination of two Catenae, xxvii

    (saec. x.) and xxvm (saec. XL), at Venice different. Of thesethe former contains more matter, though occasionally the frag-ments in the latter have pieces omitted in Cod. xxvii. On the

    whole, however, Cod. XXVIIT. is much more curtailed. The greaterpart of what is contained in Corderius is in Cod. xxvii. ; some-

    times he gives the fullest text, and sometimes the Venice MS. is

    fuller. There is also a good deal at Venice which is not found in

    his edition. There is, I think, a close connexion between Ven.xxvii. and Regin. 9 at Rome, but I did not bring away enoughinformation from Rome to determine this. I was able at Veniceto copy all the fragments attributed to Origen in the Catena on

    S. John in Cod. xxvii. Much more must be done elsewherebefore they can be made serviceable, but there is promise ofconsiderable addition to the published writings of Origen from

    this Catena alone, though the critic's knife is not unneeded.

    The textual results are the same as might be gathered from

    the MSS. at Munich and Rome. The sense of lost parts of theCommentaries may be recovered, but not much of the actualtext. This of course was to be expected. I can only conclude

    with the hope that I may be able to bring to light some of this

    buried matterif I

    am allowedto

    continue working at the text ofOrigen's Commentaries on S. John.

    As I intend to quote in the apparatus criticus readings fromthe Munich MS. only, I subjoin a full collation of the first 30

    pages of Tom. xin. of the Commentaries on S. John, in the

    edition of Lommatzsch, with Codd. Monacenis (M), Venetus (V),

    Regius (P), and Bodleianus (B). The quotations of differences

    There is of course

    no necessary reference here to a

    commentary of Heracleon's on S.

    Luke, though we know from Clementthat he commented on some part ofit (see Frag. 50 ; Clem. Al. Strom, iv.

    9. 73). Here however he only ap-pears to have explained Luke xix. 10in illustration of S. John's words.

    35. 3. 77677] Cod. Venetus has altered

    77677 to e?677, but the original reading

    is preferable. Different kinds or

    classes of seeds are not insistedupon,

    nor do they, so far as we know, form

    part of the Heracleonic doctrine.

    The sowing of this vibs wdpuirov,whoever he was, must refer to the

    sowing by a higher power of the

    pneumatic seeds in the creatures of

    the Demiurge, and the Trveu/xart/cot are

    not divided into different classes, so

    far as is known. The 77677 is also

    forcible. He rejoices in that he is

    already gathering in the earnest of

    the rest. For a similar confusion

    of 77 and ei in Cod. Venetus, cf. Frag.

    ADDITIONAL NOTES.

    A. HERACLEON AND VALENTINUS.

    The extant Fragments of Valentinus offer some points of comparison with those

    of Heracleon, especially with regard to language and terminology, which can be

    most conveniently discussed in an Additional Note. I follow the order in which these

    Fragments are given in Hilgenfeld's collection (Ketzergeschichte, p. 293), and have

    adopted his text where I quote from them. I have also given references to the

    pages of Potter's edition of Clement of Alexandria.

    1. Clem. Alex. Strom, n. 8, p. 448. Valentinus is speaking of the terror

    which came upon the Angels (of the Demiurge) at the utterances of the man whomthey had created (tKelvov rod TrXaV/^aros). These were due to Him who had placedin man the seed of the higher essence (5ta rbv dopdrws tv avry ffirtp[j.a 5e5w/c6ra rrjsavudev oua-i'as). Compare Heracleon's explanation of the 'forty and six years'

    (Frag. 16), TT\V ti\r]i> rovrfori rb 7rXacr ) ua...T6 Iv r e/x^wT^ucm 0-rrtp/j.a. Heracleon

    has retained the terminology of his master. With the Angels compare Frag. 36, oi
