Codex Speculum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Codex Speculum also called the Speculum Ps-Augustine or the Liber de diuinis scripturis, designated by m, is a 5th-century Latin manuscript collection of passages of florilegia from the New Testament arranged thematically under 144 headings.[1] The text, written on vellum, is a version of the old Latin. The manuscript contains passages from all the books of the New Testament except 3 John, Hebrews, and Philemon on 154 parchment leaves.[2] It also has a citation from the Epistle to the Laodiceans.[3] This text should not be confused with the other, later Speculum attributed to Augustine: Speculum quis ignorat.[4][5]
The Latin text of the codex is a representative of the Western text-type in itala recension.[6]
The text of the manuscript was published by Cardinal Mai in 1843.[3][6]
Currently it is housed at the Saint Cross monastery (Sessorianus) in Rome.[2]
