poses to collate the chief of these minuscules and to
group them with a view to discriminating the various
recensions of the LXX. More than half of these
MSS. are Psalters and few of them eive the entire
Old Testament. In editing his Alcald Polyglot,
Cardinal Ximcnes used minuscules 108 and 248 of
the Vatican.
(b) A(iuila (see Vkrsions of the Bible). — MS. traces of the text of Aquila are found in: (i) frag- ments of Origen's third columns, written as mar^nal notes to some MSS., such as Q; (ii) the Milan palimp- sest of the Hexapla, a most important tenth century copy found by Mercati in 189G. It contains about elev'en Psalms, has no Hebrew column, and uses the space thereof for variant readings ; (iii) the Cambridge fragment, seventh oentur^^ di.scovored in a Cairo geni- zah. It contains parts of Ps., xxi (see Taylor, " Cairo Genizah Palimpsests", 1000). The name Jahweh is written in old Hebrew letters, (iv) The Cairo frag- ments of the fourth and fifth centuries: three palimp- sests (containing III Kings, xx, 7-17; IV Kings, xxiii, Xl-27) published by Burkitt in 1897; and four portions <rf the Tsalms (Ixxxix, 17-xci, 10; xcv, 7-xcvi, 12;
von Soden ("Die Schriften des N. T. in ihrer Altesieo
erreichbaren Textgestalt", Berlin, 1902), 2328 New-
Testament MSS. extant. Only about 40 contain,
either entire or in part., all the books of the New Testa-
ment. There are 1716 MS. copies of the Gospels. 531
' of the Acts, 628 of the Pauline Epistles, 219 of the
Apocalypse. The commonly reoeive<l numeration of
the New Testament MSS. is tliat of Wettstein; unciab
are designated by Homun and Greek capitals, minus-
cules by Arabic numbt^rs. These MSS. are divided
into the a l)ove- mentioned four groups-— Gospels.
Acts, Pauline Epistles, Apocalvpse. In the case oi
imcials, an exponent is used to designate the group re-
ferred to. D or Dev is Cod. Beza>, a MS. of the Gos-
pels; D3 or Dpaw' is Cod. Claromontanus, a MS. of the
Pauline Epistles; Eg ^r ^^' ^^ ^9^* Laudianus, a MS. of
the Acts. The nomenclature is less clear for minus-
cules. Each group has a different set of numbers. If
a minuscule Ix? a complete MS. of the New Testament,
it is designated bv four different numbers. One and
the same MS. at Leicester is Evan. 69, Act. 31, Paul.
37, Apoc. 14. Wettstein's lists of New-Testament
MSS. were supplemented by Birch and Schols; later on
