2. Apparatus Biblicus and Biblical References

The following list is based on Bieler's "Additional remarks concerning the apparatus biblicus" (Introduction pp. I 45 - I 55). The order has been slightly changed. Where considered necessary, further information has been added in square brackets.

2.1. Apparatus Biblicus

The apparatus is arranged as follows:

1) As a basis I use the version that is either identical with Patrick's or nearest to it; variants from this text are listed in order of relationship.

2) MSS symbols in the first place after a bracket refer to the text immediately preceding; subsequent variants within the brackets are separated by a colon. For example, 241, 2 do (b c e ff₂ l q: apud dm VL^cett.VULG) means that Deo is the reading of MSS b c... q, apud Deum that of the other O. L. MSS and the Vulgate.

3) Reference to the Old Testament is always by chapter and verse of the Vulgate, even where the Septuagint differ.

4) The nomina sacra are represented by contractions, but without contraction marks: ds, dns, ihs, xps, sps, scs, and correspondingly in the oblique cases.

5) The books of the Bible are, with few exceptions, referred to as in Corp. Script. Eccl. Lat. [= Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum].

The sigla for Greek and Vulgate MSS are those commonly used; where parallel editions differ, I follow Swete, Vogels, Quentin and Wordsworth-White.

Biblical authorities are quoted normally in the following order: Old Latin MSS, Fathers, Vulgate; occasional references to Hebrew, Greek and the Eastern versions are inserted after the variants which they support. Within each group I have observed the established order; for the Old Testament in the O. L. version, where no such order exists, my arrangement is chronological or geographical, viz

Heptateuch: Mon Virc Lugd Ottob m Testimonia
Prophets: k g g₂ w crypt m t Testimonia
Psalter: Tert Cypr Aug R Ambr Mops A amb M Rom V Hil G C carn aug¹ m H aug² Gall Heb Med Moz.

[^]

Psalter [cf. Wikipedia article]:
- The history of the O. L. Psalter, the translations of St. Jerome, and the liturgical texts known as the Ambrosian and Mozarabic Psalter is largely problematical. From the studies of Rev. P. Capelle, A. Allgeier, Dom de Bruyne, A. Rahlfs and others, we may draw the following conclusions: 1) The Latin text of the bilingual Psalterium Veronense (R) has con nections with Africa; it may possibly be the Psalter of St. Augustine. 2) The Psalterium Romanum is not a work of Jerome, but a pre-Bene- dictine "western" psalter of uncertain date (Dom Wilmart, however, defends Jerome's authorship). 3) The Mozarabic Psalter is related to the Ps Romanum, but has come under the influence of the African text and the Psalterium iuxta Hebraeos. 4) St. Jerome's earliest version of the Psalter is probably evidenced by quotations in his Commentarioli and in letters of ca. 384/5. (These quotations do not concern the editor of St. Patrick). 5) Among the existing O. L. Psalters we can distinguish an African group (Tertullian, Cyprian, Augustine, Prosper, Liber Promissionum : codd Veronensis, Sangallensis) ; an Italian group (Ambrose, Theodore of Mopsuestia, the text of the Ambrosian Commentary, Ps Romanum) ; a Gallican group (earlier text: cod Vaticanus, Hilary; later text: codd Sangermanensis, Corbeiensis, Carnotensis, Augiensis I); a Span ish (?) group (Coislinianus, Augiensis II). The Psalterium Casinense (M) stands apart. (A different grouping is suggested by P. Capelle.) Our apparatus will comprise: Ps(alterium)V(etus) with its subgroups (as above), Gall(icanum), Heb(raicum), Med(iolanense = Ambrosianum), and Moz(arabicum). Only Heb is available in a critical edition of some merit (J. M. Harden, 1922); for the other texts, the responsibility is entirely mine. Unfortunately the collations of A. Allgeier (Die altlatei nischen Psalterien, 1928) were out of reach, and the purest witness to Gall (Reginensis 11) was known to me only from the incomplete notes in the editions of A. F. Vezzosi (in: J. M. Thomasii opera omnia 2, 1747) and A. Rahlfs (in his Göttingen edition of the Septuagint Psalter). — My text of the Ps Rom is based on the editio Romana of 1663 (reprinted by Tommasi-Vezzosi, 1747, and Vallarsi-Maffei, S. Hieronymi opera 10, 1740 = Migne PL 29) and the Latin-Saxon psalters, esp MS Cotton Vespas. A. i (ca. 700).

  - Bruno = Bruno Virceburgensis, Commentary on the Psalms (saec. XI), Migne PL 142. As far as I can see, Jeromes' letters 65, 106, 140 are not comparable.
- Heb = Psalterium Hebraicum: The symbols are those of Harden, plus E (as in Rom). A(miatinus) has been checked up in Heyse-Tischendorf, R(icemarch Psalter) in Henry Brashaw Society Vol 47, Sp in Weihrich's edition of Augustine's Speculum.

  - Moz² = Moz^LG (see P. CAPELLE Le texte du psautier latin en Afrique 221—5; Capelle's Moz¹ = Moz^O + Cauensis (inaccessible) has hardly ever been noted in our apparatus).
Old Latin (O.L.) Version (Vetus Latina, "Itala"); New Testament: John — Heb are quoted from the apparatus of Wordsworth-White, controlled and supplemented from the original editions. For the other books, the apparatus has been compiled from the sources. I regret that I have not seen H. C. HOSKIER, Concerning the Text of the Apocalypse (1929) and A. JÜLICHER — W. MATZKOW Das Neue Testament in der altlateinischen Übersetzung nach den Handschriften herausgegeben. I. Matthaeus (1938); II. Markus (1940). The partial collations of Moling and Dimma (Lawlor, Hoskier) have been supplemented from photostats of the Book of Moling in the National Library, and from the original Book of Dimma in Trinity College, Dublin. The Hebrew Old Testament and the Eastern versions will only occasionally have to be quoted.

2.3. Symbols for Biblical MSS

Lists of symbols for biblical MSS are given by Swete, Vogels, Wordsworth-White (also in the editio minor by H. I. White), Hoskier (Golden Latin Gospels 75—8) and Hopkin-James. To these the following list is supplementary.

I wish to remark that m (Speculum) and t (Comes Toletanus) have been compared by me for all quotations, and that by ms I designate the codex Sessorianus, by m^Σ the consensus of the other MSS of Speculum; further, that in the Gospels the siglum t has been replaced by t' in order to avoid confusion with the Bern fragment of Mark, which is commonly noted as t.

LXX (Septuagint): LXXA = LXX, codex A(lexandrinus).
HEX(apla): A' (Aquila) — Θ' (Theodotion) — O' (Origenes' LXX) — Σ' (Symmachus) — E' (πέμπτη) — Ἄλλος.
GR(eek New Testament); but A^gr = Greek New Testament, codex A(lexandrinus). The index 'gr' is omitted in the case of א. The two main groups of Greek MSS are referred to as unc(iales) and min(usculi) respectively.
SYR(iac version); but sy^c (Curetonian text), sy^s (Sinaitic text), sy^pal (Palestinian or Hierosolymitan text), sy^p (Peshitto), sy^h (Harcleian text).
COPT(ic version).
VL (Vetus Latina, MSS only): VL(a) = VL, codex a (Vercellensis).
VetLat (Vetus Latina, MSS and Fathers).
PSALT(erium) = PsV + Gall or Heb.
TEST(imonia Patrum), if no names are given.
VULG(ate): VULG^A or VULG(A) = Vulgate, MS A(miatinus). N.B.: "vg" in the Old Testament (including Gall) means Hetzenauer's text of the Vatican exemplar; in the New Testament, the consensus of Stephanica, Henteniana, Sixtina, Clementina (from lac on, of Sixtina and Clementina).
Individual MSS of a text, or works of an ecclesiastical writer, are normally referred to in index form: Cypr^LW = Cyprian, MSS L and W; Aug^Conf = Augustine. Confessiones. The same applies to the following abbreviations: al(ii), alq (aliquot), cett (ceteri), cod(ex), codd (codices), mell (meliores), rag (margo), mul(ti), om(nes), -om (fere omnes), pau(ci), pl(urimi); sem(el), bis, ter, saep(ius), semp(er).
If such indexes refer to more than one symbol, this is expressed in algebraic form: (CDE)^gr = Greek New Testament, MSS CDE (VL.VULG)^pl = most Old Latin and Vulgate MSS. Apart from this algebraic notation, bracketing of symbols indicates slight deviations from a given text.
