From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evangeliarium Spalatense is a manuscript of the New Testament in Latin from the 8th century. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.

Description

[edit]

The manuscript contains the text of the four Gospels on 309 parchment leaves (32 cm × 24.2 cm (12.6 in × 9.5 in)), with lacuna at the end. The last 12 leaves were lost. The text is written in two columns and 43 lines per pagina, in half uncial letters.[1]

Palaeographers are not in agreement as to the dating of this manuscript (6-8th century). It is not certain where the manuscript was written. Both Split and Italy have been suggested by scholars as the place of its origin.[2] It any way it is the oldest manuscript of Latin Vulgate found in Dalmatia.[3][4]

It was found in Cathedral of Saint Domnius in 1890.[5] It is housed in Split. In 2004 was published its facsimile.[6]
