CHRYSOSTOM, John, (-pseudo), two bifolia from the Homilies , in Greek MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM
CHRYSOSTOM, John, (-pseudo), two bifolia from the Homilies , in Greek MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM [Greece?, late 11th or early 12th century] 346 x 234mm. 30 lines in two columns written in neat, formal Greek minuscule, ruled in blind. The script is typical of the liturgical codices vetusti of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the wider spacing and the occurrence of occasional enlarged letters and uncial forms among the minuscule indicating a later, rather than earlier, dating (some marginal soiling and creasing). Provenance : William G. Medlicott (1816-1883), Catalogue of a Collection of Books formed by William G. Medlicott of Longmeadow, Mass. [...] , 1878, p.379, no. 3655. The patristic text, beginning with Psalm 55:22 -- \kepirriyon epi [thn] kurion merimnan sou kai autos se diaqreyei\K ('Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved') -- was ascribed to John Chrysostom (347-407), Archbishop of Constantinople, by the English scholar Savile, who in 1612 published an edition of Chyrsostom's works, but it has since been accepted that this was likely a misattribution (see Sancti patris nostri Joannis Chrysostomi opera praestantissima [...] , ed. B. de Montfaucon, Rhodolphopoli : G. Fröbel, 1840, pp. 857-59). (2)
