Codex Bobiensis

Codex Bobiensis, end of the Gospel of Mark

The Codex Bobiensis (Siglum k, No. 1 after Beuron) is a manuscript that was created around 400. It contains the text of the Gospel of Mark 8.8–16.9 and that of the Gospel according to Matthew 1.1–15.36 in one of the earliest versions of the Vetus Latina .

The text represents the African text type. It was possibly a copy of a papyrus from the 2nd century. It agrees well with quotations in the writings of Cyprian of Carthage in the 3rd century.

The manuscript ends after Mark. 16.8 with its own ending, most other manuscripts still contain verses 9-20. After Mark. 16.3 only follows an addition in this manuscript: “ab osteo? Subito autem ad horam tertiam tenebrae diei factae sunt per totum orbem terrae, et descenderunt de caelis angeli et surgent (-ntes ?, -nte eo ?, surgit?) In claritate vivi Dei (viri duo? + Et) simul ascenderunt cum eo, et continuo lux facta est. Tunc illae accesserunt ad monimentum. ” .

The manuscript was in Bobbio Abbey in Italy. Today it is kept in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin , signature G VII 15 (formerly CVII saec. IV).

Remarks

^ After Eberhard Nestle , Erwin Nestle , Barbara Aland, Kurt Aland (eds.): Novum Testamentum Graece . 26th edition, German Bible Society, Stuttgart 1991, p. 146.
↑ The most important witness to the African Old Latin is codex Bobbiensis, to which the symbol k has been assigned. Unfortunately, it is quite fragmentary, containing only about half of Matthew and Mark. It was copied about AD 400 in Africa and brought to the Irish monastery of Bobbio in northern Italy, where it was preserved for many centuries until it found a home in the National Library at Turin, where it is now. Its form of text agrees very closely with the quotations made by St. Cyprian of Carthage (about AD 250). According to EA Lowe, k shows paleographical marks of having been copied from a second-century papyrus. It is noteworthy that k contains the intermediate ending of the Gospel according to Mark.
↑ (...) This MS. is perhaps the most important, in regard to text, of all the Old Latin copies, being undoubtedly the oldest existing representative of the African type. It contains Mark 8: 8-11; 8: 14-16; 8: 19-16: 9; Matthew 1: 1-3: 10; 4: 2-14: 17; 15: 20-36 (...).
