Revision as of 02:16, 17 June 2008
Latin manuscripts of the New Testament are handwritten copies of translations from the Greek originals. Translations of the New Testament are called versions. They are important in textual criticism, because sometimes versions provide evidence (called a witness) to an earlier "reading" of the Greek than Greek manuscripts of the same age.
Latin manuscripts are normally divided into two main categories. In 382 AD, Jerome began a revision of the existing Latin Bible into more contemporary Latin, also correcting this against manuscripts in the original languages. Jerome's work is known as the Vulgate, copies of which started circulation in the 5th century. Earlier Latin text is known as the Old Latin (or Vetus Latina).
Identification
This list below is based on manuscripts cited in Novum Testamentum Graece (NA27) and United Bible Societies (UBS4). Each manuscript is identified first by its siglum (the first column, s., in the table), as given by the NA27 apparatus. These sigla are related to content, so are not unique. For example, the letter t refers to Codex Bernensis in the gospels, but Liber Comicus elsewhere. So sigla need disambiguation. In the table below, this is done by providing a full name. Additionally, the standard unique serial number for each manuscript is provided. Taken together sigla, name and number provide unambiguous identification, and some further information regarding the history of, and relationship between, manuscripts.
Sigla, names and numbers exist to serve different scholastic purposes. Sigla, in the context of reference to an original document, provide unique and concise identification of witnesses to the text of the original, suited to textual criticism. Names, on the other hand, refer to specific handwritten volumes, either as originally bound or in their current form. Names are typically Latin, and can refer to the place of composition (Codex Sangallensis, "Book from St. Gall") or rediscovery (Codex Sinaiticus), the current location (Codex Vaticanus), a famous owner (Codex Bezae, "Theodore Beza's Book"), a volume's function (Liber Comicus, "The Lectionary"), or can even refer to physical characteristics of a volume (Codex Gigas, "The Huge Book" or Codex Aureus, "The Gold Book").
The numerical system is designed to refine the system of sigla, providing unambiguous identification of witnesses in academic usage outside a critical apparatus. Manuscripts are allocated a number from a range, depending on the portions of the New Testament for which they are witnesses. If a manuscript is a witness for more than one portion, it is allocated the lowest applicable number. For example, Codex Bezae (d) is a witness for Gospels (Gosp), Acts and General epistles (Gen), but is allocated only the single number—5.
- Manuscripts 1-49 witness Gospels
- Manuscripts 50-74 witness Acts, General epistles and the Book of Revelation (Rev)
- Manuscripts 75-89 witness Pauline epistles (Paul)
- Manuscripts 91-96 are glosses in Spanish Bibles
Old Latin
The table below employs the following conventions.
- Dates are estimated to the nearest 50 year increment.
- Content is given to the nearest book (sometimes chapter); verses and lacunae are not listed.
- Locations are given in anglicised form, unless linked to sources in other languages.
