Big Greek Minuscule, Pembroke College, Cambridge, MS. 310
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2013
Extract
Nothing Greek is alien to Alan Wace; a handsome Byzantine manuscript is one of the latest productions of Greek skill, and a study of one belonging to Pembroke College seems peculiarly in place. Wace came up in 1898 when I was in Russia, but we made good friends when I got home in 1899; we called each other ‘Godbrother’, having discovered a common godfather who had neglected us equally. Great was my delight when in 1902 he got distinction in Classical Archaeology, and yet greater when he gained his first Fellowship that made possible his distinguished future career.

9 On the plates I have gone over the gold with white ink as it came out absolutely black in a photograph. But even so the plates give a very poor idea of the real effect.

Bandini, Bibliotheca Leopoldina-Laurentiana III, Florentiae, 1793, col. 488–501, ‘De duobus Evangeliariis Graecis sub numero ccxliii et ccxliv descriptis.’ A page was reproduced in de Silvestre, J. B., Paléographie Universelle, Paris, 1839–41Google Scholar, pl. 80: he wrongly calls the MS. No. 163; the English edition, ed. F. Madden, London, 1850, I 312–214 has summarised Bandini much better than did Silvestre. The plate occurs also in an album selected from the great work, but where this was published does not appear. Gregory and Scrivener-Miller assign to the book the no. Evst. 117.
