Munich Manuscript

(CODEX MONACENSIS, designated as X of the Gospels) is a valuable folio MS. of the end of the 9th or early in the 10th century, containing the four Gospels, with serious defects, and a commentary (chiefly from Chrysostom), surrounding and interspersed with the text of all but Mark, in early cursive letter. The very elegant uncials are small and upright; though some of them are compressed, they seem to be partial imitations of very early copies. Each page has two columns of about 45 lines each. There are no divisions by τίτλοι or sections. The ink of the MS. has much faded, and its general condition is bad. From a memorandum in the beginning we find that it came from Rome to Ingolstadt, and that it was at Innspruck in 1757; from Ingolstadt it was taken to Landshut, thence to Munich. Griesbach obtained some extracts from it through Dobrowsky; Scholz first collated it, Tischendorf more thoroughly, and Tregelles completely.
