Western Medieval Manuscripts : Three short texts in Greek about the Holy Spirit

Western Medieval Manuscripts

<p style='text-align: justify;'> This leaf is part of a collection of fragments bought by Cambridge University Library from Constantin von Tischendorf's heirs in 1876. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'> It contains <i>Three short texts in Greek about the Holy Spirit</i>, written by two hands found in another of Tischendorf's fragments, <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ADD-01880-00013'>Cambridge, University Library, MS Add. 1880.13</a>, therefore they probably derive from the same volume. MS Add. 1880.13, containing George Koressios's <i>Dialogue with a Latin teacher</i>, is from the same manuscript as <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ADD-01880-00016'>Cambridge, University Library, MS Add. 1880.16</a>. A brown stain in the upper part of the recto of MS Add. 1880.17 near the edge matches a similar stain on f. 2 of Add. 1880.16, attesting that, at a certain point, these two fragments were located together. It seems likely, therefore, that fragments Add. 1880.13, 1880.16 and 1880.17 were originally part of the same volume. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dr Erika Elia</p>
