The Iconography, History, and Linguistics of Uric’s Tetraevangel, 1429: Bodleian Library MS. Canon. Gr. 122 (original) (raw)

The Tetraevangel known as MS. Canon. Graeci. 122 was bought by the University of Oxford in 1817 from the heirs of Matteo Luigi Canonici (1727-c.1805/6). As it is known, the collection of this Antiquarian consisted in 2046 manuscripts, which Cleminson describes as being “mostly in Latin and Italian, but with a substantial number of Greek and Hebrew items”. They also included “five Slavonic manuscripts: two Croatian glogolitic (sic) miscellanies, the famous Moldavian Gospel written by Gavrilo of Neamţu, a Russian Gospel codex, MS Canon. Lit. 413, and a 15th-century Serbian miscellany”. This article presents various aspects concerning the history and iconography of MS. Canon. Graeci. 122 (Uric’s Gospel). I have published versions of this text in two publications; please contact me for details.
