152 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PHILO


C.-W., FAMILY V.


  1. Vindobonensis theologicus gr. 29, parchment, 249 largest size folios, XL
    century, written in a beautiful hand by Augerius Busbeckius at Con­
    stantinople, specimen at end of C-W., no. 23,1.
    Contains: Opif. only (first half) on fols. i47r-i54v. Fol. 146V gives an
    index of Philo's works as follows: Opif., QGi, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, QE ii, v,
    Post., Decal., Spec, iii, iv. This list was evidently contained in the ex­
    emplar. On the same folio appears EXJCOXOQ STTIOKOITOC ev owuaTioic
    £V£V£GJoaro, written in the form of a Greek cross and seems to mean
    that Euzoius had the text transcribed from papyrus to parchment. The
    exemplar therefore goes back to about A.D. 380 when Euzoius was
    bishop of Caesarea.
    See C.-W., no. 23,1, iii, xxxv-xxxvii; Cohn, no. 14, pp. i—vii.

  2. Vindobonensis suppl. gr. 50, once in the possession of John Alexander
    Brassicanus, a lawyer, then at the Bibliotheca Windhagiana, parch­
    ment, 108 folios in quarto, XII. century. This codex is the exemplar of
    the first part of no. 102 and of nos. 92, 114-117. Sometime in the XIII.
    century the text of the codex was corrected throughout by a learned
    scribe whose corrections depended on his own ingenuity rather than on
    MS. authority. In many places he obscured the original text. The de­
    pendent codices copy his corrections.
