Synopsis
Discover a rare Byzantine Gospels manuscript with vivid miniatures and a complex history. This volume presents the Bixby Gospels, a Graece manuscript dating from the medieval period and now housed as two bound volumes. It highlights the manuscript’s distinctive four-evangelist paintings, calendar-like lections, and a later insert of chronological leaves. The text outlines the manuscript’s journey: once in the Pantocrator library on Mount Athos, later moving through major booksellers and catalogues in London. It notes the careful combination of original pages with later additions, as well as details about the bindings, page counts, and layout. The discussion also covers how scholars assess its date, its decorations in gold and red, and its illustrated pages.
- Four full-page miniatures of the evangelists and gold/red marginal decorations.
- Paging and quire structure, with plates and a two-volume binding.
- Chronological leaves added from another manuscript and later dating debates.
- Notes on textual variants, notes guiding lections, and the manuscript’s provenance.
