What does the Codex Beneventanus actually contain: Letter of Eusebius or Plures Fuisse (or both)?

[edit]

I corrected the erroneous identification of the Eusebius' letter with "Plures fuisse", which is Jerome's prologue to Gospels. However, I do not have sufficient reference material to check what the Codex Beneventanus actually contains: Letter of Eusebius, or Plures Fuisse (which may be one of the "prologues to Gospels" mentioned in the article below), or both? If you have more detailed reference material on this book, please check its content.

The British Library catalog has as contents "CODEX BENEVENTANUS: Gospels, St Jerome's version, with the Eusebian canon tables, the letter to Pope Damasus (Novum opus), the preface 'Plures fuisse' and prologues and chapter lists for each Gospel" Dsmdgold 21:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I undid my correction and included the Jerome's prologue to the Gospels ('Plures fuisse') into the list of the Codex contents. Constantine Sergeev 12:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
