Then, identifying the passages of text and the elements of textual apparatus on the leaves proceeded hand in hand with an exploration of the available evidence, or records, for other parts of the same manuscript dispersed in several collections. Designing Armenian characters, lowercase and uppercase, for Bembino (in its next version, still in progress, responding to requests) allowed for the collation of the texts in full, as an aid to decipherment for readers who may be unfamiliar with the language or the medieval script forms. And so the booklet took shape.<\/p>\n<h3>The Manuscript in Question<\/h3>\n<p>These leaves, now in several collections, both private and institutional, preserve parts of dismembered manuscript in Old Armenian written in <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160305192050\/http:\/\/armenianstudies.csufresno.edu\/faculty\/kouymjian\/articles\/2013%20DK%20%20Arm%20codicology%20Note%202%20COMSt%20NL%20final%20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bolorgir minuscule script<\/a> of the 15th or 16th century CE.

The remnants of its former manuscript contain parts of the New Testament (some say a Lectionary), plus a Prayer (or its opening line) and a Colophon (of unknown contents), now dispersed in parts among several collections worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>These 2 New Leaves were purchased from different sellers (both based in the United States), as parts of a manuscript dismembered at an earlier stage. That they belong to the same manuscript is undeniable on account of the similarities of layout, script, and other features. Within the manuscript, they stood at a distance of some leaves from each other \u2014 a number yet to be determined.<\/p>\n<p>Measuring circa 100 \u00d7 137mm (with a written area of circa 69 \u00d7 100mm), the leaves have double columns of 26 lines (with a run-over into a 27th centered line in one column). The text is written in black ink, with elements in metallic red pigment (partly oxidized) and bright vegetal red pigment. Each leaf begins abruptly within the passage of text.<\/p>\n<p>We show both recto and verso of the 2 New Leaves, newly identified as containing respectively portions of the Acts of the Apostles and Paul&#8217;s Epistle to the Romans, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Euthalian_Apparatus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Euthalian Apparatus<\/a>. This set of cross-references, devised apparently by Euthalius (active sometime between the 4th and 7th centuries CE), divides the text into chapters and verses, along with a system of cross-references, or <em>testimonia<\/em>, linking passages in the New Testament to Old Testament readings. The Report demonstrates the system in action.<\/p>\n<p>The leaves also have a few corrections, as well as a set of textual apparatus and cross-references.<\/p>\n<p>Simple embellishment appears in the contrast between the black ink of the text and marginalia and the red pigments of the the rubricated elements.<\/p>\n<p>Note the use of not one, but two types of red pigment. Opening initials, enlarged and mostly inset within the columns, are rendered in metallic red pigment, which has partly oxidized over time, with blackened bits. Some first lines of sections (Leaf I recto, column a and verso, column a) and the segmented section-ending markers (Leaf II verso, columns a and b) are written in vegetal red pigment, which remains bright. The vegetal pigment (on that same verso) sometimes overtraces the ink punctuation, and sometimes supplies the punctuation itself.<\/p>\n<p>Simple effects, and effective.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5735\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/FrontCover.png\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5735\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5735 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/FrontCover-1024x353.png\" alt=\"Detail of the left-hand mid-section of the verso of New Leaf I, with Acts 23:12 and the Euthalian section number for 'Chapter 34'.

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MS 229<\/a>, which offers useful comparisons also in other ways for its coverage of the portions of text represented by both the Ananias Fragment and the New Leaves.<\/p>\n<p>More information about these comparisons appears in the Booklet, while the detail here exhibits a form of such a kind of marginal decor, which functions as a lively, undulating frame for the corresponding Passage reference, as a complement to the decorative opening initial in the text.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5736\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

Photograph reproduced by permission<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Plus a Binding and a Pair of Reused Latin Endleaves<\/h3>\n<p>One might wish to know more about these various features, while taking note of their existence. For example, it is difficult to know at a distance whether the reported binding was an original part of the production of the manuscript, a later addition, or a composite structure of several dates, with repairs and\/or additions, including perhaps the reused front endleaves from a different discarded book.<\/p>\n<p>Among the range of extant bindings for Armenian manuscripts at such a date or later which employ brown leather with hand-tooled patterns, usually plus flap at the lower cover to enable a box-like cover, some examples \u2014 particularly for Gospel manuscripts \u2014 are described and illustrated <a href=\"http:\/\/armenianstudies.csufresno.edu\/faculty\/kouymjian\/articles\/2008%20DK-Athens%20Bookbinding.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">here<\/a>, with further directions for exploration. For comparison and context, we could note that Goodspeed Manuscript 229, comparable also in other ways, retains not only its 257 leaves of the New Testament, plus colophons, but also its brown-leather-covered binding with fairly simple decoration, shown online at both <a href=\"http:\/\/goodspeed.lib.uchicago.edu\/view\/index.php?doc=0229&amp;obj=001\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">front<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/goodspeed.lib.uchicago.edu\/view\/index.php?doc=0229&amp;obj=518\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">back<\/a>. In the case of that manuscript, the several colophons and prayers cumulatively record the place of origin of the transcription, the nature of the exemplar, and the names of the scribe, his teacher, and the priest who commissioned the volume. Such features in full show what the dismembered manuscript represented only by dispersed fragments may have had to lose.<\/p>\n<p>We should not stop there. Recognizing that, say, to an Armenian manuscript specialist, an &#8216;early&#8217; Latin biblical commentary for part of the Old Testament might mean almost anything in terms of date, particularly without an identification of its script and layout to offer some specifics, we may wistfully register awareness of a possible clue which that pair of reused endleaves \u2014 whether as a bifolium or separate leaves \u2014 might offer toward deciphering something more of the history and travels of the volume. Not to mention the possible significance for the transmission of biblical commentaries in the Latin tradition, including into other linguistic realms, even if simply as some accessible binding material for another text.<\/p>\n<h3>Excerpts &amp; Left-Overs<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_5633\" style=\"width: 445px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wellcome-Library-1b7f80a6b304d4ea3f5f940211911.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5633\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5633 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Wellcome-Library-1b7f80a6b304d4ea3f5f940211911.jpg\" alt=\"Wellcome Library, London, MS Armenian Manuscript 1, folio 120v.

Image @ Wellcome Library, London. Via Creative Commons.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Perhaps the imposition of the &#8216;lacunae&#8217; among the groups of consecutive leaves in the Kurdian Fragment involved the extraction of desirable leaves with heightened decoration or illumination. The observation therein of &#8216;some red ornamental illumination in the margins&#8217; does not give much to go on. Examples of decoration in New Testament manuscripts written in bolorgir minuscule script include the Gospel manuscript of 1495 in the Wellcome Library, London: MS Armenian Manuscript 1, shown here within the Gospel of Luke (at Chapter 5:7\u201314).<\/p>\n<p>Some other cases of New Testament or Gospel manuscripts in bolorgir script involve much more elaborate decoration and illustration, with ornamental initials, historiated scenes, frontispieces, canon arcades, and more. An example viewable online (only for some high points in terms of the &#8216;art&#8217;) is the Gospel Book now at the Morgan Museum and Library, <a href=\"http:\/\/ica.themorgan.org\/manuscript\/thumbs\/146986\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MS M 749<\/a>, dated 1461 CE. But there is no evidence in sight that the dismembered manuscript represented by the Remnants in the Los Angeles Leaf \/ New Leaf I \/ Chicago Goodspeed Leaf \/ New Leaf II \/ Kurdian Leaves attained anything approaching such heights of splendor.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, its isolated Remnants, as illustrated by the 2 New Leaves and the Chicago Leaf, resemble the mostly &#8220;plain&#8221; detached leaf of New Testament text in bolorgir script, with restrained red-and-black layout of text and initials, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As Accession Number 2009.65, it can be viewed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/478392\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a> (its text, we know, extends from within 2 Timothy 2:10 to the middle of 2 Timothy 2:20, and continues on the verso directly thence to the middle of 2 Timothy 3:5, with large red initials beginning Verses 11 and 14 on the former and Chapter 3 on the latter).<\/p>\n<h3>Gaps<\/h3>\n<p>The amounts of text missing from between the groups of leaves in the Kurdian Fragment \u2014 which, as described in the Report, comprise respectively 7, 2, 2, and 5 consecutive leaves, before the last leaf with the colophon \u2014 apparently indicate the losses of single leaves (designated with an asterisk, as &#8216;*1&#8217;) between those groups (7 + *1 + 2 + *1 +2 + *1 + 5), and an unknown number between them and the colophon, and between them and the preceding parts. Among those single leaves were the openings respectively of II Peter, I John, and I John 4.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps embellishments of some kind(s) for the openings of such Books rendered their leaves attractive for and susceptible to extraction. No openings of the biblical Books appear to survive for this manuscript. Maybe there is a reason for that. As in, take the &#8216;good&#8217; parts, discard the rest. But without more precise evidence, this form of guesswork is exactly that.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ArmenianCover_200dpi-with-border.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5613 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ArmenianCover_200dpi-with-border-232x300.png\" alt=\"Cover for the Report on 'Two Detached Manuscript Leaves containing New Testament Texts in Old Armenian' by Leslie J.
