Medieval and Early Modern Greek Manuscripts
<p style='text-align: justify;'>This manuscript was probably copied in the 10th century and contains various homilies and other texts by <i>John Chrysostom</i> or attributed to him. The manuscript has suffered damage due to use and time and it is defective at the beginning and at the end, and shows many lacunae. Nevertheless, the manuscript is a rare complete copy of <i>In illud: Ignem veni mittere in terram</i> (<a href='' onclick='store.loadPage(278);return false;'>ff. 274v-277v</a>) by Pseudo-Chrysostom (ed. by S. Kim, 2018).</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>In all likelihood previously owned by the Greek monastery of Pantokratoros on Mount Athos, MS B.8.8 was bought by the classical scholar Richard Bentley and bequeathed to Trinity College Library after his death.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dr Matteo Di Franco</p>
