A Newly Identified Old Georgian Witness to the Greek Homily CPG 4622 at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library

DOI

The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library not long ago purchased a single Georgian leaf in nusxuri script, perhaps of the eleventh century, the exact contents of which were unknown. A study of the manuscript’s text showed that it was a Georgian version of the Greek homily CPG 4622, attributed variously to John Chrysostom or Ephrem. That Georgian version had already been published on the basis of other manuscripts in Tbilisi by Ilia Abulaże. The text of the new witness, with images of the manuscript, is presented here, together with a small critical apparatus to show the textual relationship not only to the readings of Abulaże’s edition, but also to two additional early witnesses from Saint Catherine’s Monastery to this Georgian translation. An English translation of the text in the new witness concludes the article.
