AN APOCALYPTIC FRAGMENT IN LATIN.
The accompanying pages contain a Latin Apocalyptic fragment
of some interest. It is a description of Antichrist taken from an
uncial MS. of the 8th century in the Stadtbibliothek at Treves,
where I read and copied it in April 1891. The MS. in question
is no. 36 in the excellent catalogue now in course of publication
by the Librarian, Herr Max Keuffer, to whom I should like to
express· my thanks for his readiness to afford help to me in my
work.
The volume is a small folio of 115 leaves of vellum, dated
719 A.D., written in 22 lines to a page, in uncials. Its contents
are:
1. S. Prosper Aquitanus De promissionibus et praedic-
tionibus. f. 1—-112.
2. The fragment here printed. f. 113.
3. Versus Sybille. Inc.: Veniet enim Rex omnipotens et
aeternus. f. 113b.
4. Colophon. f. 115.
A facsimile of a page will be found in Zangemeister and
Wattenbach Exempla codicum latinorum, pl. xlix.
The book came from the Abbey of S. Matthias outside Treves.
The principal interest of the fragment lies in the fact that it is
the literal equivalent of certain sections of the tract known as the
Testament of the Lord, which is printed in Syriac by Lagarde
from the Codex S anger manensis 38, in Reliquiae luris Ecclesias-
tici antiqzcissimae Syriace; a retranslation into Greek by Lagarde
will be found in the Rei. lur. Eccl. antiq. Graece, p. 80. I add a
