THE CODEX

[Transcriber's Note: This e-book contains much Greek text which is central
to the point of the book. In the ASCII versions of the e-book, the Greek
is transliterated into Roman letters, which do not perfectly represent the
Greek original; especially, accent and breathing marks do not
transliterate. The HTML and PDF versions contain the true Greek text of
the original book.]

On the next page is exhibited an _exact Fac-simile_, obtained by
Photography, of fol. 28 _b_ of the CODEX SINAITICUS at S. Petersburg,
(Tischendorf's {~HEBREW LETTER ALEF~}): shewing the abrupt termination of S. Mark's Gospel at
the words {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER PHI~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER BETA~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER UPSILON~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER NU~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMICRON~} {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER RHO~} (chap. xvi. 8), as explained at p. 70, and pp.
86-8. The original Photograph, which is here reproduced on a diminished
scale, measures in height full fourteen inches and one-eighth; in breadth,
full thirteen inches. It was procured for me through the friendly and
zealous offices of the English Chaplain at S. Petersburg, the Rev. A. S.
Thompson, B.D.; by favour of the Keeper of the Imperial Library, who has
my hearty thanks for his liberality and consideration.

It will be perceived that the text begins at S. Mark xvi. 2, and ends with
the first words of S. Luke i. 18.

Up to this hour, every endeavour to obtain a Photograph of the
corresponding page of the CODEX VAT
