Clement of Alexandria I: Protrepticus and Paedagogus

Clement of Alexandria.

b. List of manuscripts dependent on P.

Regarding the manuscripts (MSS) that depend on P, two groups must be distinguished: those copies made before the loss of the five quires A quire, or quaternion, is a gathering of folded sheets of parchment; losing five of these resulted in a significant gap in the text. containing the greater part of The Tutor (Book I) and before a 14th or 15th-century hand corrected the manuscript; and those copies made after this loss and correction. Numbers 1 and 2 in the following list belong to the first group, while numbers 3 and 4 belong to the second group. This list includes all currently known manuscripts of the Exhortation and The Tutor. Since only numbers 1 and 2 are relevant for textual criticism Textual criticism is the process of comparing different manuscript versions to reconstruct the original text as accurately as possible., a more detailed description seemed necessary only for them. For all others, which date from the 15th or 16th century, please refer to Barnard, Texts and Studies V 2, pages XV–XIX, and to my "Contributions to the Knowledge of the Manuscripts of Clement of Alexandria," pages 7–21. There, one can find more specific proof of the relationship between most of these manuscripts.

The descent from M is proven by the fact that marginal notes from later hands in M were also copied, for example, the scholium An ancient or medieval marginal note explaining a passage. on Berossus A Babylonian priest and historian; original: "Βήρωσσος" page 50, 2, and on O, by the truth original: "ὢ πρὸς τῆς ἀληθείας" page 51, 17.
