Here is a translation into English of the interesting remarks by Harnack that I posted here<\/a>.\u00a0 What is striking is that we still haven’t really advanced much.<\/p>\n

\n

VI.\u00a0 J. A. Cramer has published catenas on the NT (8 vols, Oxford, 1838 ff).\u00a0 But this edition in every way represents only a very modest beginning, and it in no way corresponds to the modern requirements for a critical edition of a catena.\u00a0 Compared to the Catena of Nicephorus, it is unquestionably a backward step.<\/p>\n

Wendland has yet to publish a catena on all four gospels<\/strong>.\u00a0 See\u00a0Mss Paris. 178 (11th c.), 187 (11th c.), 191\u00a0(11th c), 230 f. 41\u00a0(11th c.) \u2014 Paris Coislin. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.\u00a0(11th c.), 195 f. 10\u00a0(10th c.) \u2014 Venice Marcianus 27\u00a0(10th c.) \u00a0\u2014 Bodleian Laudian 33\u00a0(11th c.) Misc gr. 1 (12th c.) (where it seems that the names of the authors excerpted are omitted in the last two catenas.\u00a0 Whether the same is true in the other mss above I cannot say.\u00a0 If not, these mss would be least useful for the preparation of a text of named fragments.<\/p>\n

On Matthew<\/strong>, the Catena of Nicetas, in which Clement of\u00a0Alexandria, Eusebius, Gregory Thaumaturgus, Irenaeus, Origen (Marcion, Montanus) are cited, was printed by Petrus Possinus (Tolosae\/Toulouse 1646) using a ms. of the Archbishop of Toulouse, Charles de Montchal, and a portion of a Vatican ms.\u00a0 Another catena was edited by Balthasar Corderius (Tolosae 1647) following a Munich\u00a0ms. (including Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus).\u00a0 Cramer for his edition used the ms. Paris. Coislin 23 (11th c.) and published at the end of the volume variants from\u00a0ms. Bodleian Auct T. 1. 4 (10th c.).<\/p>\n

Mss: Cod. Vatic gr. 349 (1423 AD). \u2014 Jerusalem St. Saba 232\u00a0(10th c.)\u00a0\u2014 Madrid O. 62, 63\u00a0(14th c.) \u2014 Paris. gr. 188\u00a0(11th c.) f. 1 (under\u00a0the name of\u00a0Chrysostom) 193\u00a0(15th c.), 194\u00a0(13th c.) (Mt.\u00a0& Mk.), 199\u00a0(12th c.) (Chrysostom-catena\u00a0like the\u00a0first). 200\u00a0(11th c.), 201\u00a0(11th c.), 202\u00a0(12th c.), 203\u00a0(12th c.) (Chrysostom\u00a0et Petrus <\/em>[?] in Comm. Mt.<\/em>), 231\u00a0(12th c.) (Mt., Luke, John) \u2014 Coislin. 24 (11th c.) (Mt. Mark.) (see Bodl. Misc. gr. 30 (15th c.), in which only authors after 325 AD are quoted).\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Mark<\/strong>, Petrus Possinus likewise gave us a catena from a ms. of the same archbishop (see above); he also used a catena under the name of Chrysostom, which Corderius took from a Vatican ms., and finally the commentary of Victor of Antioch, previously published in Latin by Peltanus (Ingolstadt, 1580).\u00a0 The commentary of Victor of Antioch was edited in Greek using Moscow mss. by Matthaei (Biktwros presb. A0ntiox\u2026 e0ch\/ghsij ei0j to\\ kata\\ Ma\/rkon eu0agge\/lion, Mosquae 1775).\u00a0 Cramer (Cat in NT. I, Oxon. 1840) used both a longer and shorter recension, of which the first went under the name of Cyril of Alexandria (\u2014 Chrysostom?), the other under the name of Victor.<\/p>\n

Mss. used by Cramer are Codex Bodleian Laud. 33 (12th c.), Coislin. 23 (10th c.), Paris. gr. 178. See also: Cod. Jerusal. St. Saba 263\u00a0(13th c.) \u2014 Cod. Patmos 57\u00a0(12th c.) (after Sakkelion, Patm. bibl. p. 46\u00a0different to\u00a0Possinus). \u2014 Vatic. Reg. 6\u00a0(16th c.) \u2014 Cod. Paris. 188\u00a0(11th c.) f. 141, 194\u00a0(13th c.) (Cat on Mt.\u00a0& Mk). 206\u00a0(AD 1307) (Victor), Coislin. 24\u00a0(11th c.) (Cat on Mt.\u00a0& Mk). 206 1. 2.\u00a0(11th c.) (Chrysostom et alior. patr. comm. in IV evv.<\/em>).\u00a0 On a Vienna ms. see Kollarius\u00a0on Lambecius, Comment.<\/em> III, p. 157sq. (Cod. XXXVIII) \u2014 theol. gr. 117?<\/p>\n

For the writers named in this catena (including Clement of Alexandria, Str. XLV [i.e. V, p. 573 see Fabricius-Harl., l. c.<\/em> p. 675], Eusebius Demonstratio evangelica<\/em> III, ad Marinum<\/em> c.

A catena\u00a0on Luke<\/strong>\u00a0was published by\u00a0B. Corderius Antwerp 1628\u00a0in Latin translation only\u00a0after a Codex Venice Marcianus (he also mentions\u00a0mss from \u00a0[Munich] and Vienne). The Greek text is still unpublished.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0commentary\u00a0based on Titus\u00a0of Bostra was published by Cramer, Caten. in NT<\/em>. II, Oxon. 1841 following Cod. Bodl. Auct. T. 1.4 and Laud. 33.<\/p>\n

The far more important Catena on Luke<\/strong> (by Nicetas of Serrae), for which we are still dependent on the Latin translation by Corderius, can be found in the following mss:<\/p>\n

Codex Vaticanus 1611. 759 (12th c.)\u00a0see Cod. Vatic. 1270. 349. 758. 1423. 547. \u2014 Casanat. G. V. 14. \u2014 Vatic. Palat 20\u00a0(13th c.)\u00a0Vatic.

A catena on John<\/strong>\u00a0was also published by Balthasar Corderius, Antverp. 1630 (after an ms. from \u00a0Trier).\u00a0A shorter catena was edited by\u00a0Cramer, Cat. in NT<\/em> II, Oxon. 1841.<\/p>\n
