9. PREFACE
I DESIRE to express my thanks to Sir Robert K.
Douglas, the former Keeper of the Department of
Oriental Printed Books and MSS. in the British Museum
for permission to publish this MS., and to the present
Keeper, Dr. L. D. Barnett, for many courtesies during
my work there. To my friend, Mr. W. E. Crura, I am
indebted for much kind help, as well as for originally
suggesting that I should undertake the work.

11. INTRODUCTION
Description of the Papyrus. The papyrus which is here
printed for the first time is described in Mr. W. E. Crum's
Catalogue of the Coptic MSS, in the British Museum under
the no. 951 as follows:
'Or. 5984. Papyrus; the remnants of a very fine book,
now preserved between glass, in 62 numbered frames. A page
when complete [v.
nos. 61, 62) measured 14j- x 10^ in., the
whole surface consisting of a single selis. The text, in one
column of 36-38 lines divided into paragraphs, is written in
rounded uncials of Zoega's 3rd or 4th class, ^, X, JUL, t
being each formed of single strokes (^ rarely angular, in
two strokes). Initials at the principal sections are enlarged
and accompanied by scroll ornaments {u. no. 48). Only a few
fragts. show their pagination (nos. 4-12), viz. from KT-^,
the alternate figures only being marked (on versos), except
at the beginnings of quires (no. 5 beg. of qu. ?, no. 12 of
qu. H). [Rev. C. Murch.]
'
The MS. originally contained the books of Proverbs (frames
nos. 2-13), Ecclesiastes (nos. 14, 15), Canticles (nos. 16-20),
Wisdom (nos. 21-40) and Ecclesiasticus (marked as Sir.,
nos. 41-62). The paged fragts. are from the first of these,
p. KT bearing part of ch. xi. Assuming therefore that the
volume opened with Proverbs, we must consider the single
small fragt. of Job (from chh. xxxviii, xxxix), framed as no. 1,
to belong to another volume ; though it is of course possible
that each book was given separate pagination. Considerable
portions of the other books are preserved. The text of
Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus appears to difier only in verbal
details from the Turin MS. (ed. Lagarde). The differences
are often such as might be due to copying or dictation.
The archaic doubling of the liquids ^, X, p is not found

12. vi INTRODUCTION
in this MS. What remains of the Prologue to Eceli. is here
printed.' Mr. Crum's reprint of the Prologue does not need to
be reproduced here as it will be found in its place on p. 126.
A few details may be added to the foregoing description.
The papyrus came into the possession of the British Museum
in 1901. In regard to size the pages are among the largest
known of papyri in codex form ^ the largest dimensions of
complete pages being 36-5 cm. height (leaf 61) and 26-5 cm.
width (leaves 6, 8). The size of the written sells is 28x21 cm.
(leaf 36) on an average. The number of lines on a complete
page ranges between 33 (p. 41 r, 62 v) and 38 (36 r, 49 r,v),
the usual number being 34-36.
The MS. unfortunately is very imperfect, as only 77 leaves
or portions of leaves survive out of a probable total of 168
when the codex was complete ^. The papyrus itself varies a
good deal in quality and condition. In parts it is palimpsest,
and though the underwriting is not legible ^ the scraping of the
surface has affected the condition of the upper writing in parts,
especially where, as it seems, it has been exposed to damp.
The palimpsest is traceable from leaf 4 b to 13 (Proverbs),
it is very slight between 14 and 20 (Eccles. and Cant.), it
is more frequent on leaves 21-40 (Sapientia), and from 41
onwards (Sirach) there is no trace of it, and evidently that
part of the papyrus was new when it received the present
text.
Date. The MS. is in the same handwriting throughout ;
the only leaf as to which any doubt can be felt is no. 1, the
solitary fragment from the book of Job, but I feel little
doubt that it is by the same hand. Unfortunately the leaf is
too imperfect to admit of any argument being drawn from
the size of either leaf or sells ;
but in the attempt to recon-
struct the outward form of the codex (p. viii, infra) it will
be found to fit into its place in the scheme. The dating of
Coptic MSS. is notoriously a difficult matter, but as regards
^
Cf. Crum, Cat. Coptic MSS. in Brit. Mus., p. xiii.
^
Below, p. xvii.
'
It is most distinct on leaves nos. 6-12 and 21 r, 29 r, 82 r. I have not
succeeded in making out the nature of the earlier work, but it was
certainly in Coptic.

13. INTRODUCTION vii
this MS. Mr. Crum has described it as
'
perhaps of the Vlth
or Vllth century' (Proc. Soc. bibl. Arch. 1902, xxiv 174).
I will not venture on any closer definition.
Contents. The MS. contains parts of certain books of
the Old Testament, viz. Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes (Eccles.),
Song of Songs (Cant.), Wisdom of Solomon (Sap.), and
Ecclesiasticus (Sir.). Of Job only one fragment containing
a few verses remains ;
of Proverbs considerable portions of
chapters iv to xxiv remain ;
of Ecclesiastes small fragments ;
of the Song a considerable portion of the whole ;
while of
Wisdom we have portions of every chapter, and of Sirach
the major portion of the work as far as chapter xl. At
first sight it might be questioned whether it was worth
while to publish so fragmentary a MS. ;
but when it is
considered how very imperfect is our text of the Sahidic
version of the Old Testament, and how important that text
is, not only in its bearing on our knowledge of the Coptic
language and literature, but even on Old Testament criticism
in general, it will probably be admitted that publication may
be of some use to scholars. A large portion of the text has
been printed from other MSS. by Ciasca, Lagarde, and others,
yet the following texts are printed in the Sahidic version for
the first time :
Job xxxix 10-12.
Proverbs iv 13-14, 16-27; v complete, though fragmentary
in parts; vi 1-11; xii 17-23 (fragmentary, as are
also the following portions of this book); xiii 2-10,
13-20, 22-25; xiv 1-5, 8-18, 22-30, 33-35; xv 1-3,
6, 10-15, 17-18, 21-29; xvi 1-9, lla-15a, 20-24,
30-33; xvii 1, 7-10, 17-20 a; xviii 1-4, 13-16;
xix 1-3, 10-12, 22-24.
Eccles. ix 4-6.
Cant, i 14 b, 17; ii 1-4, 8-10, 13 a, 17; iii 7, 8 a.
Sap. xvii 4 b, c, 18 a; xviii 7 b, 8 ;
xix 7 a.
Sir. i 1-3 a, lib, 12 a; ii 18; iii 8b-18; viii 17-19;
ix 9 ;
X 4 b, 12 b; xxvii 7, 8 a, 22-24; xxix 18 b;
xxxi 5 b ;
xxxix 13 b.
The quality of the text, by comparison with the other
MSS., where they exist, is good, though in Sap. it is not

14. viii INTRODUCTION
equal to that of the Turin MS. (ed. Lagarde) ;
in Sir., while
sometimes inferior to the Turin MS., it is not infrequently
superior to it, or at any rate nearer to the version presented
by the chief Greek uncials. Where the two MSS. disagree,
neither has any consistent support from the other Greek
MSS. so far as they are collated in Holmes and Parsons.
In Sir. it goes without saying that our MS., like that at
Turin, follows the Greek uncials in the misplacing of the
sections xxx 25 xxxiii 13 a and xxxiii 13 b xxxvi 16 a.
A collation with all other printed Sahidic texts of the same
portions of the Old Testament has been added.
Form of the Codex. The volume is incomplete, but it is
possible to reconstruct it to some extent. At present there
arc 77 leaves or portions of leaves (besides one fragment
unassigned) distributed among the different books as follows :
Job 1, Proverbs 23, Ecclesiastes 3, Song of Songs (Cant.) 6,
Wisdom 20, Sirach 24. Page-numeration is found only on
the leaves of Proverbs^, which are numbered on the verso
with numbers ranging from 24 to 61 in alternate numbers,
24, 26, &c.^ : hence the recto was regarded as having a
number, though bearing none except when it is the first
page of a new quire (leaf 8 b, 12a). Quire-signatures also
occur on fo. 5 a recto ^ (beginning) and 8 a verso ? (end of
quire), on 8 b Q^ecto Z, (beginning) and lie verso ^ (end
of quire) and 12 a recto H. This shows us that the codex
consisted of sheets arranged in quaternions, each sheet
consisting of two leaves which were folded so that when
formed into a quaternion the quire consists of eight leaves,
of which the first four had horizontal fibres on the recto
and vertical fibres on the verso (
= HV), and the following
^
In Eccles. and Cant, there are traces of pagination on the top left-
hand corner of three pages, viz. K on 14 b verso, X on 16 a verso, and
perhaps H or ri on 17 recto, but all except the first are so effaced as to
be very uncertain, and I believe they are the effaced nunabering of
a palimpsest writing. The papyrus in this part is not well preserved
and gives the impression of having been used before and cleaned.
^
The scribe
hasjnadvertently left out the number 38, marking the
recto of leaf 8 b ?^ and the verso 7^, and then continuing with the
series 41, 43, &c., to 61.

15. INTRODUCTION IX
four leaves had vertical fibres on the recto and horizontal
fibres on the verso (
=VH). It is convenient to set out
the relations of the leaves with respect to fibres, See, in
a tabular form :

lating how many leaves have disappeared by counting the
lines of the Greek text and reckoning how many lines of
Greek text correspond to a leaf of Coptic text ; thus, in
the gap between fo. 3 and 4 a (Prov. vi 11 to viii 35) there
are 176 11. in Greek, and as fos. 2 and 3 (=:Prov. iv 16 to
vi 11, adding 7 11. for the missing top of fo. 2 calculated from
the average number of lines in a page of the MS.) contain
c. 116 11. in Greek or c. 58 to a Coptic leaf, obviously the
missing 176 11. Greek must represent three lost leaves of
Coptic between 3 and 4 a. This enables us to reconstitute
quire 6 thus :
No. of leaf

19. INTRODUCTION xiii
thouo-h in the latter instance the blank leaves were not
numbered.
Fo. 12 d ends at Prov. xxiv 13, and from that point to the
end is a lacuna. It is possible to calculate that 12a con-
tained the Coptic equivalent of 48 11. of Greek, 12 b 55 11.,
and 12 c 49 11. ;
thus we may safely take 50 11. Greek as about
the equivalent of a leaf of Coptic in this part. Now from
Prov. xxiv 13 to the end the Greek text contains 512 lines;
therefore ten leaves may be taken as missing after 1 2 d to the
end of Proverbs.
Since Proverbs began at quire 6, we must assume that the
quire numbers were added after the several books had been
gathered together into one volume. Four quires are left at
the beginning to be accounted for. There is one fragmentary
leaf of the book of Job (fo. 1
) apparently in the same hand-
writing as the rest of the MS., and as far as one can judge
a part of it. Now the book of Job in the Sahidic version
was the short one of the pre-Origenic LXX, which in round
numbers was shorter by about 380 stichoi than that which
is found in our chief uncials (Ciasca, Sacr. Bibl. frag, copto-
sah. ii.
p. xxxiii). Swete gives the number of stichoi in
Job as 2163 (cod. B) as compared with 1124 for Sapientia.
Subtracting 380 from 2153 we have 1773 for Job compared
with 1124 for Sapientia. These 1124 ttichoi take up 21
leaves of our MS. Therefore 1773 would take 33 leaves,
which, considering the rough nature of the basis of com-
putation, is sufficiently near to the 32 required for four
quires (quaternions) to be accepted. Thus we may fairly
assume that the volume began with Job in the usual Sahidic
version.
Ecclesiastes i 1 vi 6 is missing. From the remains of
fos. 14 a, 15, and 14 b and the one leaf missing between
14 a and 15 an average of about 53 lines of Greek text
may be taken as the equivalent of a Coptic leaf in this
book. The initial lacuna is represented by 370 11. Greek
less about 12 for the lost top of fo. 14a=358 lines. Thus
in all probability seven leaves are missing here. Similarly
from ix 6 to the end there is a gap of 177 11. in the Greek =
3f leaves Coptic, while at the beginning of Cant, before

20. xiv INTRODUCTION
fo. IGa + b we have 33 short lines (Greek) which it would
be quite possible to get into one page, since fos. 17, 18, 19
(Cant, iv 3 to vii 13, where the Greek lines are rather
longer) contain about 50, 60, and 55 Greek lines respectively,
or an average of 55. Since the end of Eccles. requires almost
exactly 3^ leaves and the beginning of Cant, one page, i.e.
half a leaf, it would seem that in the case of the latter short
book it was not thought necessary to commence a new quire
for it. At the end of Cant, the arrangement of the fibres
seems to indicate that a blank page was left between it and
Sap. which follows.
The first Wisdom book (Sap.) begins a new quire, in this
sole instance a quinion, which is followed by a quaternion,
and then, as only a very small portion of the book remained
to be written, the scribe seems to have taken another sheet
which he folded and wrote in the unusual order VH-HV, and
then found that one more leaf was wanted which is now
missing. He started Sirach on a new quire which proceeds,
so far as we have it, in the following order : two quaternions,
a ternion, and two more quaternions. The numbers of the
missing leaves work out with certainty by calculation from
the Greek text.
The foregoing tedious details may now be gathered up
into the following table which, though hypothetical in one
or two minor points, can scarcely be altered in its main
outlines.

The missing portion of Sirach would require about 13
more leaves, i. e. two more quaternions inclusive of fos. 6 1
and 62, which begin a quire. Supposing the whole codex
to have ended there, it would have consisted of 336 pages
(168 fos.).
The printing of this edition. The MS. has been printed
in this edition in such a way as to reproduce it as far as
possible under the rigid conditions of type. The length of
the lines, their inset, the carrying up of the ends of a line
into the blank space of the line above it, the occasional
interlineations have all been reproduced ;
as also the super-
lineation which has occasionally, but rarely, been inserted
where it would be expected, but has probably been broken
away. It was felt that, if omitted, its absence might lead
to a wrong inference being drawn, and, in the defective
condition of the MS., to mention every instance in the notes
of such insertion would overload them. On the other hand,
where an expected superlineation is omitted, it may be
assumed that the condition of the papyrus enables it to
be said that there never was any originally. Likewise with
regard to punctuation, it is very difficult on faded parts of
the MS. to be sure wdiether one or two dots were originally
present, and therefore too much stress must not be laid on
it. For convenience in reading the words of the Coptic text
have been divided in the usual way.
In the collation no notice has been taken of certain small
differences between this MS. and the Turin MS. (Lagarde) of
the two Wisdoms, which are of frequent occurrence, viz. in
Lagarde ^Jit for ^ert, ei for I in both Greek and Coptic
words, the assimilated definite article ppo^JUie, &c., or any
diff*erence in superlineation or dots over I or in punctuation.
The numbering of verses adopted by Swete in his edition
of the Septuagint (Cambridge, 1895-9) has been followed,
but Lagarde's numbering, where it differs in Sapientia and
Sirach, has been inserted in brackets.

15 a There is no Greek text corresponding to these lines. Between
vers. 15-20 comes probably the fragment 13 a recto (horiz. fibres, mounted
as verso), but the letters are too few and uncertain to allow of identification
in the absence of any other text 23^ Mingarelli, p. 1 19, has a imssage

verso (vert, fibres, mounted as recto) ;
but it cannot be identified with
certainty in the absence of another text for comparison 33"

In the Canticiim the Borgiau MSS. fail us except in iv 14 v 5
(Ciasca) ;
but Maspero gives a text from MSS. in the Bib. Nat. which
is complete except i 7 iii 7, and he has also collected all the qiiotations
from printed sources and some from unprinted or partly printed sources,
including codd. Par. 43, 44 (Scalae) and MS. 193 of Naples. I have
reproduced the variants here, as shortly as possible, but so far only as they
cover the limits of our text. i 13^ [OTJULA-Vpe] codd. Par. 43, 44,
