quod is vere in Christo valet, qui virtutum nitore vitaeque supeniae spe atque 

 contemplatione licet per speculam et enigma beatiis. Ob hoc aiitem spiritum 

 et mentem in Christum valere diximus, non quod quorumlibet sanctorum 

 corpoi-a in Christo non valerent, sed propter melioris naturae excellentiam 

 spiritum et mentem in Christo valere pro toto homiue synechdochieos 

 posuimus. Finit. 



Fol. 14 v°-19 r* : A commentary on the system of Canons for a harmony 

 of the Gospels fiddressed by Eusebius to Carpianus.' It has not, as far as I 

 am aware, yet been printed. A full edition will be found in the Appendix. 



Fol. 19r''-22\-°: Incipit prologus quatluor evangeliorum. I'lures fuisse 

 qui evangelium scripsenmt et Lucas evangelista testatur dicens. In hoc 

 prologo de numero atque ordine evangeliorum expositurus piius pseudo- 

 evangelia eorumque temerarios auctores eleganter refutat, ac nescio quasi 

 quodam praeiudicio illo respuere videretur. Beatum Lucam evangelistam 

 huius rei testem esse ostendit. Quoniam quidem multi conati sunt ordi- 

 narem naiTationem rerum, quae in nobis completae sunt, sicut tradiderunt 

 nobis qui ab initio ipsi videruut et ministri fueruut sermonis et perseverantia 



usque ad praesens tempus monumenta declarant, etc., et pleni- 



tudo donormu. 



Ed. Mai (Migne, 103, cols. 348-352). 



The MS. text is again very different from the edition and much fuller. 



FoL 22 v»-29 r° : Incipit in argumentum secundum Matheum. Inter 

 argumentum et argumcntationem hoc distat ; nam argumentum est sensus 

 totius orationis. Argumentatio vero est argumenti elocutio verbisque 

 competentibua explicatio, etc. 



Ed. Mai (Migne, 103, cols. 274-279). 



The text is here again very different from the edition and much fuller. 



Fol. 29 r" : Finit in argumentum secundum Matheum Sedulii Scotti 

 expositio. 



Fol. 29if-'dl\°: Incipit eiusdem explanatiuncula de breviariorum et 

 capitulorum canontmique differentia et connexione, etc. 



' The (iiwk Uit of Eusebiuo will be found in Mig:ne (Patrol. Graeca, 22, rjl». 1275-1292). The 

 old Latin renion, commented upon by Sedulius Scotlua, ha» been printed by Vallarsi (Hieronymi 

 Opera, Veronac, t. x, 1710, cola. 667-670), by Fabricius (Bibliotheca Graeca, ed. Uarles, t. vii, 1801 , 

 pp. 400-401), and by Migne (Patrol. Lat, 29, cols. .529-,531), all of whom have aUo given the Greek 

 text. The Latin Tension was atlribiitcd by Fabricius (loc. cit., t. iv, 179.5, p. 881) lo 8t. Jerome; 

 but the Utter'a authi>r9bip, though probable, cannot l>e proved (cf. Vallarsi, loc. cit., col. 068). 

 In the text of the Latin version incorporated in the commentary of Sedulius Scoltus there arc 

 some alight variations from the text a^ given by Fabricius. Theae will bo noticed in the foot-notes 

 lo the Appendix.
