| Description | The article reflects on the oldest manuscript preserving a catena on the Gospel of Luke, the so-called Codex Zacynthius. It is a manuscript with two stages to its history. The original manuscript was copied around the year 900, and contained the Gospel of Luke, with the extracts written around it in the three outer margins. In the thirteenth century the manuscript was dismembered and the ink was rubbed out. It was then re-used to make a lectionary manuscript of the Gospels, written at right- angles to the original text. As a result, the older text had been incomplete and much of it was illegible. The Codex Zacynthius project (University of Birmingham) managed to make an edition of all texts preserved in Codex Zacynthius and an English translation of the catena text as well as to undertake the first complete study of the catena text of the manuscript. As a result, it was proved that the catena of Codex Zacynthius is similar to the series of excerpts encountered in other two New Testament catena manuscripts. |
