PEEFACE

T H E editor wishes to make grateful acknowledgment to Professor James H. Breasted for permission to publish the Chicago manuscript, and to other members of the admirable Oriental Institute organization : to Dr. T. George Allen for his careful final editing of the volume, to Professor Martin Sprengling for notes on the structure of the manuscript, to Mr. Charles Breasted for photographs of printed and manuscript material and for measurements of manuscript leaves, and to Mr. Robert J . Barr for transfer of the manuscript to Ann Arbor. Dr. W. E. Crum loaned his and Sir Herbert Thompson's transcriptions of material in the British Museum and the Bibliothkque Nationale, and allowed the use of his list of Proverbs quotations, of which the Shenute citations had never been published. Professor Arthur A. Vaschalde furnished another list of such quotations, besides additions to his well-known list of the published manuscripts and fragments of Proverbs. Professor Henri Hyvernat gave valuable bibliographic help. Professor Carl Schmidt loaned his personal copy of the text of Proverbs in Akhmimic, from the Berlin manuscript. Specific acknowledgments of these services will be found in the Introduction. Finally, the editor wishes to thank Miss Louise Shier and Mr. Herbert Youtie for help with collation and bibliography ; and Dr. William W. Bishop, librarian of the University of Michigan, for providing facilities for the safe storage and use of materials.

INTKODUCTION

IN its No. 10485 the Haskell Oriental Museum of the University of Chicago possesses a nearly complete and very old manuscript of the biblical book of Pro­verbs in the Sahidic version.

Nothing is known of the manner in which this manuscript came to light, nor of the place or region in which it was found. Professor James H. Breasted, the Director of the Museum, bought the volume in Cairo in 1920 of Mr. T. C. Townsend, submanager of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, Limited. A Middle Egyptian and early origin may, however, be suspected from its small format. In another publication l

the present writer has enumerated twelve small-sized manuscripts, ranging from 5-6 x 8-4 cm. to 9 x 1 0 cm. Three fourth-century (?) specimens and one of the fifth century (?) were found at Oxyrhynchus. Five of the fifth century (?) were said by the dealer to have been found at Dimei. One of the early fourth century (?) was thought to be written in a Middle Egyptian hand. One of the third or fourth century (?) and one of the fifth century (?) were of undetermined origin. The hand of the Chicago manuscript would, in the absence of other evidence, be dated con­servatively as of the sixth century; and this would seem to be demanded by the rounded, barbed epsilon, on the one hand, and the hair lines and smallness of the letters on the other. No conclusion can be drawn from the constant use of round alpha and mit with square upsilon; for round and square forms of these letters are known now to occur in the same hand.2

The manuscript begins with page 158, and ends with page 358. The first three leaves are considerably damaged ; and one leaf, pages 359-60, is entirely gone. At certain other points in the text the ink of the scribe became too acid and ate through the vellum from both sides, very greatly increasing the difficulty of reading. But the manuscript is nearly complete, and far more extensive than any other manuscript of Proverbs in Sahidic. One may ask, of course, as in the case of the Freer Psalter,3 what was the purpose of such small volumes, and what would

xi i INTRODUCTION

have been the result of binding up so many small leaves. The physical structure of the manuscript is as follows.

The scribe had at his disposal twenty-three quires of sixteen pages each, pre­pared either from large skins or from small scraps, and trimmed to size about 8-3 x 11*3 cm. He first (?) numbered the quires by setting the quire numeral in the upper left-hand corner of the first page and in the upper right-hand corner of the last page of each quire. He then (?) left the first seven pages blank and numbered the remaining 361 pages; but he duplicated the number 251, so that from page 252 onward the numbers are less by one unit than they should be, and the book ends with number 360 instead of number 361. Page numbers are, of course, at the upper outside corners. On every page a cross was placed: usually in the corner opposite the page number; but, on pages bearing a quire number, in the center of the page.

The first part of the manuscript was used for a text other than Proverbs. On the fifth page of the eleventh quire the scribe began Proverbs, finishing neatly on page 360 (properly 361), the last page of his codex. The first part of the codex is lost, and the present manuscript begins exactly with the beginning of Proverbs, the first three leaves being badly damaged or fragmentary. I t would seem that the Proverbs portion had for a long time been used and handled separately from the first portion. Perhaps the first part ended with the tenth quire, and four pages were left blank at the beginning of the eleventh quire. The first ten quires might then have been bound into one volume, and the remaining quires into another, despite continuous pagination. We have already mentioned the difficulty of binding up many pages of small format. Or perhaps an original single codex fell to pieces, and the Proverbs portion was separated from it and used until worn out. In doing so, quire 11 would have been split between pages 157 and 158.

The quire limits of the Proverbs portion are all established by the remaining quire numbers. Nearly all of the pagination remains. Quires 18 and 19 are intact. Quires 14, 17, 20, 21, and 22 are intact save for the two outermost leaves. Of quire 15 the two innermost pairs of leaves are intact. Of quires 13 and 23 the innermost pair of leaves is intact. To the inner edge of the first page of the last quire adheres a strip of parchment which may have been glued there by the bookbinder as a means of attaching the back cover. If so, this would be of interest to modern bookbinders. Three small and unimportant fragments of the cover have been preserved.1 As a convenient summary of the foregoing discussion, a table is here added:

1 I am much indebted to Professor Martin Sprengling for most useful observations on the structure of the manuscript before it was possible for me to examine it.

Sheepskin vellum is the material of the manuscript, no veins being visible by-transmitted light. Measurement of eight sample pages from different points in the manuscript showed the dimensions to be 7-9-8-25 x 11-2-11-45 cm. Micrometer measurement of ten such sample pages showed the thickness to range from 0-00355 to 0-0082 inches (not cm.). On a single page the variation ran from 00049 to 0-0082 inches. The vellum does not seem to have been damaged by water, worms, or heat; but it is exceedingly fragile in appearance, and the ink which has eaten through it on certain pages makes handling difficult.

No colored ink has been used. Besides the plain cross on every page, already mentioned, the familiar marginal coronis is more or less frequently used, to mark the approximate beginning of a verse ; and this character is frequently supple­mented by an ansate cross above it and a plain cross below it, or by other embellishment which could not be reproduced in type. Quite regularly, in connection with this sign, the first letter of the line is set out about one space into the margin, or is enlarged; and the first letter of a page is very often written large. Punctuation is remarkably regular. The supralinear stroke is used with precision and restraint. Only rarely, and probably as nothing more than a slip of the pen, it is placed over the article of the singular or the prefix q- , in the manner of Boheiric.1 To complete a word at the end of a line, w may be represented by a line over a vowel. Similarly, y and && occur for oy and JLIO. There is but one hand throughout. Some of the scribe's errors are corrected by the insertion of missing letters above the line. Omitted passages are written at the bottom of the page, the place for their insertion being indicated by an asterisk.

xiv INTRODUCTION

The outstanding phonetic-orthographic features of the text are the weakness of £ and the simplification of doubled sounds. Examples of the former are : eit-for gen-, p. 37; HT* for gHT*, pp. 11, 56; TH* for gTH*, p. 41: TIHT for ngHT, p. 32 ; K* for K*g, p. 4 ; Jtxoy for JUOy% p. 39; o^u> for oy<tf £, p. 30 ; ep*i for egpM, pp. 56, 85; *JUAT£ for euut^gre, p. 40; ujo^Hite for tgo*YgHtie, p. 95 ; of the latter, jUA'xe for .tiAvxe, p. 6; tg&itTc for tgttdtirrc, p. 36; itdJUATe for it&ddULdtgTC, p. 40; <xti\.y for «K** /Y* PP- 18> 595 qn^a^Y f°r q iw^vy , P- 3 1 > neite for neene, p. 73; e&ico for eeftuo, p. 88; «oc for -xooc, p. 81; ujon for tgoon, p. 96; xioige for juooige, pp. 10, 25; o*Ygop for cvygoop, p. 91; gcon for goxoft, p. 72 ; «2t(ope for <xcocope, p. 43; cyco for 0*^0^10, pp. 40, 91 ; ©•yiojg for cYOfCOig, p. 41; o^uicq for o*YO«Yiocq, p. 98; cvYioujq for o^o^ioigq, pp. 19, 33, 58; o^oeiuj for o*Ycyoeiuj, p. 22; e^ottg^ for €.<yo*fon%, p. 88; HCOO«YK for ttccoofit, p. 29; tt- for itit-, passim. Both peculiarities are exhibited in g^pegpo* for g«vpe£ epo*, pp. 7, 12, 13, 19, 20, 43, 85 ; g*.pe£ pu>* for g*pe£ €pu>*, pp. 40, 68;

2*Pe2. n*"" f or 2.*Pe2. €lt*~ P- 7 6 ; 2*P€2. K €q- f°r 2*P€£ eitcq-, p. 52; gj\pe^ nnojuioc for g*pe£ enttojjtoc, pp. 97, 101 ; itg^p^q for mt^gp^q, pp. 82, 91. In the last example the £ is a meaningless letter which can be placed before or after a vowel without altering the pronunciation. In the Michigan papyrus No. 1190 there are twelve cases of £ written before a vowel when it should follow the vowel. The cases of the contrary, or of arbitrary doubling, are very few: R A k e for nfose, pp. 67, 89 ; &W«xe for fttace, p. 92 ; ujftHHp for igfitHp, p. 87 ; git i tcy- for git Of-, p. 99.

There are no other remarkable phonetic peculiarities. Unassimilated it before n occurs in eimtoK *it ne, p. 30 (twice); itniCTic,p. 36; e**it n€T-, p. £5, as in other manuscripts. G for *x occurs in nX^e, p. 22, and ^Mec, p. 89.

Examples of the shorter form of the III. future are found in €R-, p. 30, and e*Y-, p. 86. o'Yit^ for cvyit cyy* occurs twice on p. 20.

A few forms and spellings suggest other dialects or older stages of the language: cypHTfc for cyepHTe, p. 19; A*€£ for AiHg, p. 21; irr^pen for T&peK, p. 21; €p*TC for p^TC, p. 24; iteti&q for tujuu&q, p. 26; ttvxge for u^ivxe, p. 33 ; ito*Y**q for o«y*^q, p. 102.

xvi INTRODUCTION

According to Ad. Hebbelynck,1 as quoted by Vaschalde,2 BMC 1 (i. e. BMC 41), BNKatam, SER26, SER 27, and Z32 are parts of a single manuscript, and BMC 40, BN 1293119-20, and Z 22 are also parts of a single manuscript. To this latter Hebbelynck, followed by Delaporte,3 adds BN 1293118 and 122. The same writers combine also Z 25 with BN 1293121. So the originally separate manu­scripts are: *

Numerous quotations from the book of Proverbs have come down in the works of Shenute and elsewhere. Dr. Crum and Professor Vaschalde have kindly furnished me with lists of these. Many had already appeared in von Lemm's Koptische Miscellen (1907-11). The value of such quotations—often mere allu­sions—for establishing readings is questionable. They are in an entirely different

class from avowed manuscripts of a work. Where the actual text is lost, they are, of course, better than nothing. But they have not the authority that would entitle them to inclusion upon the same level as manuscript readings, particularly as to the slight variations which form so large a part of critical apparatus.

In this edition the actual text of the Chicago manuscript is printed, with

bracketed restorations from other manuscripts where necessary. The variant

readings include those of all other Sahidic manuscripts available. Some very

ordinary and insignificant matters have been regularly omitted: git for geit, n q -

for neq- , I for ei (not always omitted), y for H and other queer spellings of

Greek words, and the fluctuations between © and Tg. No attempt has been made

to construct, or reconstruct, a text of the Sahidic Book of Proverbs out of these

materials. This is simply an edition of the Chicago manuscript, with variant readings.

The Akhmimic version exists in a very nearly complete manuscript, shortly to be published by Professor Carl Schmidt, of Berlin. Because of its completeness and continuity, it would have saved much labor had it been available for collation. But work was far advanced before such a thing was thought of, and was finished before the Akhmimic readings came to hand. They could, therefore, be used only sparingly in the course of printing this book. The Boheiric version * is too far removed from the Sahidic-Akhmimic to be collated directly with it. The study of relationships between these versions, and between them and the Greek versions in various manuscripts, is a much larger task than the present one.
