Codex Corbeiensis I

The Codex Corbeiensis I, designated by ff1 or 9 (in the Beuron system), is an 8th, 9th, or 10th-century Latin New Testament manuscript. The text, written on vellum, is a version of the old Latin. The manuscript contains 39 parchment folios with the text of the four Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and General epistles.[1]

Text

The Latin text of the Gospel of Matthew of the codex is representative of the Old Latin text in Itala recension. The text of the rest of books of New Testament is predominantly Vulgate text.[1]

Verse Matthew 12:47 is omitted as in codices Codex Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Codex Regius, 1009, Lectionary 12, k, syrc, syrs, copsa.

In Matthew 16:12 it has textual variant της ζυμης των αρτων των Φαρισαιων και Σαδδουκαιων (leaven of bread of the Pharisees and Sadducee's) supported only by Codex Sinaiticus and Curetonian Gospels.

History

The manuscript formerly belonged to the monastic Library of Corbey, on the Somme, near Amiens; and with the most important part of that Library was transferred to the St. Germain des Prés at Paris, about the year 1638, and was there numbered 21.[2] The St. Germain Library was suffered severely during the French Revolution, and Peter Dubrowsky, Secretary to the Russian Embassy at Paris acquired some of manuscripts stolen from the public libraries.[3] It was transferred to the Imperial Library at. St. Petersburg about 1800-1805.[2] It was edited by J. Martianay in 1695 (Vulgata antiqua Latina et versio Evangelii secundum Matthaeum, Paris 1695), Sabatier, Bianchini, Belsheim, Calmet, Migne, and Jülicher.[1][4]

Currently it is housed at the National Library of Russia (Ov. 3, D. 326) at Saint Petersburg.[1]

gollark: What if CODE GUESSING 17259815?
gollark: What I can easily do is construct a backdoor which nobody else can use, but I don't think that qualifies.
gollark: And practical hidden flaws are more like "if you encrypt 2^16 bytes with the same key it is possible to determine some of the plaintext with slightly higher probability" or known plaintext attacks and such, rather than "hahaha any message whatsoever can be decrypted".
gollark: I have some rough ideas but they'd probably be obvious to anyone competent.
gollark: I would, but I would have to actually know cryptography, which is nontrivial.
