Medieval and Early Modern Greek Manuscripts : Septuagint

Medieval and Early Modern Greek Manuscripts

<p style='text-align: justify;'>This manuscript, probably copied in the later 12th or 13th century, contains Old Testament excerpts drawn from three books: Ecclesiastes, the Song of Solomon and the Wisdom of Solomon. Much of these has been lost, and it is unclear whether they originally formed part of a full manuscript of the Septuagint or a smaller selection. It is evident, however, since the transitions between the three books have survived, that the Book of Job, which would normally appear between the Song of Solomon and Wisdom of Solomon, did not originally appear here. The size of the folios is slightly inconsistent.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dr Christopher Wright</p>
