BIBLICAL ARCHEÆOLOGY.
IMPOETANT DISCOVEEIES. A valuable discovery has been made in the episcopal archives at Coire (Grisons), of two fragments of an old Latin version of St. Luke, which had been stuck on the inside of the cover of a book. They contain Luke xi. 11—29 and xii. 16—34. Li the new number of the Studieu und Kritiken, Professor Ranke gives the two most important columns, containing Luke xiii. 16 —25 f ki alligavit Satanas—foris stare dicen[tes],"J and he remarks that the text agrees most closely, especially in its omissions, with that of the Codex Vercellensis (Sffic iv.) Either the manuscript from which it is taken was a copy of that Codex, or else both manuscripts were derived from the same source.
The society for Biblical Archaeology has lately received a rich present for its library in the shape of an ancient Pentateuch roll, dating apparently from the tenth century. This manuscript is the only copy of the Pentateuch as used by the Aden Jews, descendants of the preMohamedan inhabitants, which has yet reached England. The Council of the Society hope soon to exhibit the roll to the public with a detailed examination of its philological and archaeological peculiarities.
