The Codex Corbeiensis I, designated by ff1 or 9 (in the Beuron system), is an 8th, 9th, or 10th-century Latin New Testament manuscript, written on vellum. The manuscript contains 39 parchment folios with the text of the four Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and General epistles.[1]

Text

[edit]

The text of the Gospel of Matthew in the codex transmits one of the pre-Jerome translations known collectively as Old Latin. The rest of the codex contains a predominantly Vulgate text.[1]

Verse Matthew 12:47 is omitted as in codices Codex Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Codex Regius, 1009, Lectionary 12, k, syrc, syrs, copsa.

In Matthew 16:12 it has textual variant της ζυμης των αρτων των Φαρισαιων και Σαδδουκαιων (leaven of bread of the Pharisees and Sadducee's) supported only by Codex Sinaiticus and Curetonian Gospels.

History

[edit]

The manuscript formerly belonged to the monastic Library of Corbie Abbey, on the Somme, near Amiens; and with the most important part of that Library was transferred to the St. Germain des Prés at Paris, about the year 1638, and was there numbered 21.[2] The St. Germain Library was suffered severely during the French Revolution, and Peter Dubrowsky, Secretary to the Russian Embassy at Paris acquired some of manuscripts stolen from the public libraries.[3] It was transferred to the Imperial Library at. St. Petersburg about 1800-1805.[2] It was edited by J. Martianay in 1695 (Vulgata antiqua Latina et versio Evangelii secundum Matthaeum, Paris 1695), Sabatier, Bianchini, Belsheim, Calmet, Migne, and Jülicher.[1][4]

Currently it is housed at the National Library of Russia (Ov. 3, D. 326) at Saint Petersburg.[1]
