ON A PASSAGE IN ACTS XV. 23. 



Dr. Burton {Greek Test, Oxford, 1848), in a 

 note on the words ot irpecrgurepoi kuI ol aSe? cpul (Acts 

 XV. 23.), says : " Most MSS. read oi Trpea-SvTepoi 

 aSeKipoi" I should feel much obliged to any of 

 your readers who could kindly direct me to some 

 particular manuscripts, to which Dr. Burton may 

 possibly have alluded when he wrote the above 

 note ; or who could refer me to any Greek MSS. 

 of authority, in which the koI is not found. I have 

 been enabled to consult the Codex Laudianus, a 

 MS. of the seventh century ; also the MS. Canon , 

 of the early part of the tenth century ; and the 

 Codex Ebner., of the twelfth century. In neither 

 of these is the koI missing. Nor am I aware of any 

 Greek Bible or New Testament printed without 

 the KOI ; nor indeed of any translation without the 



conjunction (though there may be some such) in 

 Latin, or in any other language, with the single 

 exception of the Vulgate after St. Jerome, and 

 its several versions. The Bibles of Sixtus V. and 

 Clement VIIL, agreeing in this particular, read 

 alike, " Apostoli et seniores fratres." On the other 

 hand, Vutablus, in his new translation, reads, 

 "Apostoli et presbyteri et fratres;" which is like- 

 wise the reading of the interp. Syriac, as given in the 

 Biblia Begia ; also of Beza, as given in the edition 

 of the Bible, Olioa Roberti Stephani, 1556;- whilst 

 in the Novum Testamentum e Grceco archetypo 

 Latino sermone redditum, Theodora Beza inter- 

 jore^e, ed. Hanov. 1623, the reading is, "Apostoli, 

 et seniores, et fratres;" which is also the reading 

 in Bibl. Sacr. ex Sebastiani Castellionis interpre- 

 tatione, ed. Francofurti, 1697. To which may be 

 added the Biblia Gallica, 1580 ; the Bihl. Belg., 

 ed. Leydas, 1737 ; and Luther's German Bible, — • 

 all which retain the and. 



I have also consulted a more important version, 

 namely, the ancient Italic, which also reads, 

 "Apostoli, et seniores, et fratres;" but which (in 

 Pet. Sabatier's edition. Par. 1751) has appended 

 to the verse the following note : 



" V. 23. — MS. Cantdbr. Scripserunt epistolam per 

 manus suas continentem haec, Apostoli, et presbyteri 

 fratres, hiis qui sunt per Antiochiam, et Syriam, et 

 Ciliciam, qui sunt ex gentibus fratribus, salutem. — 

 Grmc. textui Laud, consonat [verslo Italica], nisi quod 

 habet Kara r^v 'AvTiSx^iav, koI 'Svp'iav, koI KiAiKiav, pro 

 Antiochias, et Syriae, et Ciliciae. MSS. quidam, pro 

 X^ipos manuni, legunt x^^pf^") t^um Vulg. ; aliique plures 

 tolhmt Kal post seniores. Irenaeus, 1. iii. c. 12. p. 199. a. 

 legit : Apostoli, et presbyteri fratres, tiis qui sunt in 

 Antiochia, et Syria, et Cilicia, fratribus ex gentibus 

 salutem. S. Pacian., Parcen. ad Pcenit., p. 315. h. : 

 Apostoli, et presbyteri fratres, his qui sunt Antiochiae, 

 et SyrisB, et Ciliciae, fratribus qui sunt ex gentibus 

 salutem. Vigil. Taps. 1. xii. De Trin., p. 329. c. : 

 Apostoli, et presb. fratres, iis, qui Antiochiae, et Syr., 

 et Cilic. fratribus qui sunt ex gentibus salutem." 



This note certainly goes far to corroborate (if 

 indeed it was not the chief authority for) Dr. Bur- 

 ton's assertion; but it does little to satisfy my 

 curiosity on a point, which I conceive to be of 

 considerable interest, and of no slight importance, 

 at the present time. The Cambridge MS. appears 

 to be in Latin only ; as is also the passage referred 

 to in Irenaeus, whose original Greek is lost. So 

 that, after all, there is some ground to suspect that 

 there in fact exists no Greek manuscript whatsoever 

 without the Kal. 



I will add another note, which I find at the pas- 

 sage in Irenajus (Contr. Hcer., lib. iii. cap. 14. 

 p. 199., ed. Par. 1710): 



" Sic cum Irenaeo habent codd.Cantabrig. et Alexand. 

 et Vulgatus interpres. At in editis Greeds : irpeff€v- 

 repoi Koi ol a5eA(^of."
