VI INTRODUCTION.
3. A MS. in the Cambridge University Library, No. 2023 ff. 169 — 294.
I regret that I only knew of the existence of this MS. on the publication
of the Catalogue a year ago, and as I had at that time 104 pages of my
work printed, I have given a collation of its first chapters in the Appendix.
4. A portion of the Malabar MS. (Cambridge Oo. i. 2. ff.) deciphered
and published by the Rev. J. P. Arendzen, Ph.D., in the Journal of
Theological Studies for October 1901, with the help of photographs of the
Mosul Codex, furnished to him by Monsignor Rahmani, Uniat Patriarch
of Antioch; these two MSS. being found by Dr Arendzen to be practically
identical. This consists of the " Teaching of the Twelve Apostles."
5. A MS. in the Museo Borgia, of which I have been kindly furnished
with a collation by M. le Professeur Nau, of Paris, and with photographs by
Monseigneur Graffm. This MS. is inferior to Codex Sangermanensis.
Prof. Edmund Hauler published two years ago at Leipzig fragments of
a Latin translation of the Didascalia from a palimpsest at Verona, of the
fourth century. The upper writing of the MS. belongs to the eighth
century, and contains the Sentences of Isidore of Seville. The decipherment
of the lower script must have been a trying and laborious work, and it is
eminently satisfactory to find such a close agreement between the Latin
and the Syriac.
Last year, also, a translation into French appeared by M. le Pro-
fesseur F. Nau, of the Catholic College in Paris, published seriatim in the
Canoniste Contemporain, and now republished in a separate form. I have
compared M. Nau's translation with my own, and in very few points indeed
have I ventured to differ from him. His accuracy and penetration are
beyond praise. I desire once more to thank him for his collation of Codex
Borgia ; and my gratitude is due also to Monseigneur Graffm for the
photographs of that MS.; to Dr Eberhard Nestle of Maulbronn, and to my
sister, Mrs Lewis, for their assistance in the revision of my proofs ; and
to the readers and printers of the University Press, for the care with which
they have executed their troublesome work.
