Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Thekla
The evidence supplied by a comparison of the tables of con tents is not in itself decisive. To the thirty-five titles of the older manuscript the younger adds eleven. Five of these - Nos. 3, 16, 31, 35, 36 - are scattered through the manuscript. The remain ing six appear at the end. The place of each seems to have been determined by the ecclesiastical calendar, in accordance with which the contents of both manuscripts are arranged. But num bers 25 - 28 of A, in which the calendar order is not observed, are correctly rearranged in B.
It seems reasonable to conclude that, while B is a corrected and amplified manuscript of the synaxarium, it is not the imme diate descendant of A, and probably not a direct descendant of A at all, but comes through a collateral line from some ancestor of A.
