Custodial History

SL265 was bought at the Sotheby sale by 'Ulysses' (Jacob Schwartz?) for £32. It is listed in the Sotheby catalogue as about 120,000 words on 450 pp. ('some leaves stained and rotten'): a small part of it is now Yahuda Var. 1 Ms. 39. The discrepancy is further explained by a letter from Schwartz to Yahuda of 20 April 1937 stating that he had ripped up a portion of the lot which had been damaged by rot and was in his opinion indecipherable. The same letter states that 'my brother in New York' had been in possession of part of SL265 at some point but had 'none left' (having sold it, presumably).

[1] adduxit me iluc: deest in versione septuaginta & in targo Ion. Desumitur a versu 3

[2] d. In Hebræo jam est כגנמ ad Austrum. At sept. legebant דגנמ e regione, Quoniam ædificium dicitur urbi simile et Ierusalem stabat ad austrum montis templi, inde scriba imperitè mutavit ד in כ

[3] e Sept: χαλη λβοντοσ. vide Dan 10. 6.

[4] f Sept: et annunciabis

[5] g secundum Vnanimem Iudæorum traditionem, constabat cubitus vulgaris ex quinque palmis & sacer ex sex. Designat itaque Ezekiel se uti cubito sacro. Hieronymus corrupto usus exemplari legebat calamum constitisse sex cubitis et palmo, eumque latini fere sequuntur. Sed Hebr. hodiernus Sept. Targum Ionath. Vers. Syr. & Arab. refragantur. Et Ezekiel - etiam alibi expressè dicit cubitos suos constitisse ex cubito et palmo c 43.13 & arundinem fuisse sex cubitorum præcise c 41.8 & cubiculos unius arundinis c 40.7 fuisse sex cubitorum præcise vers 12.

[6] 1 h Numerus septem legitur in Sept. et occurrit in sequentibus vers. 22, 26.

[7] 2 k In hebr. jam adduntur: & limen unum calamo uno in latitudinem quæ verba deerant in exemplari Septuaginta et repetitio sunt verborum proximè præcedentium totidem sillabis, præterquam quod pro רעשה porta per ulteriorem scribæ errorem ponitur דחא unum

[8] a Sept. hic legebant {}ιλ{}μ אולם. Deest jam vox in Heb. At postea v 10, 30 agitur de his ἀιλὰμ tanquam prius memoratis, nisi mavis intelligere postes januarum LK et CB quas tamen Angelus non prius mensus fuit. Porrò hæc intervalla cubicolorum vacua fuisse colligo partim quia angelus in his constitit ubi mensus est latitudines thalamorum EV, FT & latitudinem Portæ hV partim quia Sacerdotes per hæc intervalla Portarum Atrij interioris transeunt ab Exedris suis in Atrium interius redeuntque inde in exedras et interea non intrant in Atrium exterius c 42.14. Et Ezeckiel per introitum in latere Portæ borealis ingressus est in cubicula

[9] b Hæc verba Et thalamum secundum &c usque ad in latum HQ legebant Sept. in Exemplari suo, desunt verò jam in Heb. Sed probabilius est scribam oscitanter {omittere} quàm de suo petulanter {inseruisse}. Et sensus requirit ut legantur. Vt enim Angelus mensuravit sigilla{vit} omnes Atriorum portas æquales, sic etiam mensuravit omnes thalamos æquales nam et inde Ezekiel postea pronunciavit hos esse æquales , vers 10.

[10] c Hic in Hebr. scriba oscitanter bis descripsit verba intrinsecus calamo uno et mensus est vestibulum portæ, idque totidem syllabis, . In exemplari Hieronymi legebantur semel. In septuag. juxta æditionem Romanam per contrariam scribæ oscitantiam prorsus omittuntur, sed in codice Alexandrino et vers Arab. leguntur semel, ut etiam vers. Syr.

[11] d Hactenus Angelus continua serie posuit mensuras partium portæ in longum jam redit interius et partes ejus in latum mensus est.

[12] e

[13] f Tradunt Talmudici ostia portarum singularum Templi secundi fuisse decem cubitos lata et viginti alta.

[14] g Septuaginta pro ששים sexaginta legebant עשרים viginti, quod probabilius est si modo altitudo portarum hic designetur ut intelligebant Ionathan in Targo & Syrus. Ea utique fuit altitudo ostiorum Portarum in Templo secundo. In cod. Alexandr & Arab leguntur vigintiquinque

[15] l {illeg} רצף {illeg} Stravit prunam significat {illeg} Isa. 6.6. 1 Reg. 19.6 Et inde a specie | ab effigie fornacis vox usurpatur pro area {illeg}avis s{illeg}ata fornici sic in Ester 1.5, 6 ubi describitur Atrium regium columnis marmoreis ornatum & pavimentum sub fornibus ubi lecta convivis strata erant, dicitur רצפה. Sic etiam in Cant 3.10 describendo lectum Salomonis, dicuntur columnæ ejus argenteæ, {illeg} | pluteus aureus, tectum purpureum, et media regio רצפר אחבה substratum amoris.

[16] m. Ita septuaginta. At in Heb. verba דרך adduxit me ad desunt, quætamen in transitu de Porta ad Portam legi solent vers 24, 27, 32, 35 & hic omninò legenda sunt ut sensus sit salvus.

[17] n Pro ו et Septuaginta legebant כ sicut.

[18] o Ita Sept

[19] a Vers 30 Deest in Sept. edit. Rom. . Legitur tamen in MS Alexandr.

[20] b Septuaginta legunt portam locum atrij

[21] c Ita Sept. & Lat. & supra

[22] d In Hebr. jam legitur אילו postes ejus. At septuaginta et Latinus olim legebant אילמו vestibulum ejus. Et recte, ut ex locis analogis v 31, & 34 nec non 9, 22, 26, constet

[23] h שפת 2 Reg 4.38 est suspendere unco ollari. in Gen 49.14 vox משפתימם de sarcina arcuata usurpatur

[23] Hi sunt arcus ferrei quibus Sacerdotes indebant colla animalium mactandorum. Mactanda enim erant sacrific{i} ad boreale latus Altaris Levit. 1.11 & 6.25 & 7.2 26. Olim arcus seu annuli in pavimento Atrij interioris ad boreale lutus Altaris in hunc usum infixi erant. ut narrant Talmudici. Iam cedes animalium transfertur ex Atrio in Portam

[23] h Ionathan in Targo vocem שפתים interpretatur.

[24] x In Hebr. ponuntur hic singularia pro pluralibus ut sæpe fit. Portas autem in plurali verti debere constat quia subinde de duobus portis agitur. Sic et ubiunum dicitur, non intelligendum est unum cubiculum sed unum cubiculorum ædificium vel una series, id adeo quia subinde de hoc uno dicitur in plurali et facies eorum. Vnde etiam postea ubi hoc unum in Hebr dicitur cubiculum intelligere debemus cubicula, et nec non ita vertere latinè propterea quod [ sermonis hujus est exprimere pl. per sing.] in hoc sermone expressio pluralium per singularia durior est.

[25] y cantorem שרים aliquando quidem Cantores, signif. frequentiùs verò principes Syrús in hoc loco principes vertit et rectè quia cantoribus concedenda non sunt cubicula in atrio sacerdotum. Intellige autem Principes sacerdotum, quibus utique paulo post committitur judicium supremum Ezek 44.24.

[26] z Hebr. Iam est אשר At olim Sept legebant אחר, et sensus lectionem illam omninò requirit.

[27] k Heb אשר quod. Sept אחר unum

[28] a In textu Hebr. hic jam legitur חקדים Orientis at Septuaginta olim legebant חדרים Austri. Et eadem est lectio in commate sequente tam in Hebr. quam in versionibus, et oppositio inter portas austri et aquilonis de quibus hic agitur, lectionem illam omninò confirmat.
