| Summary: | From 1838 to 1844 John Anthony Cramer, Regius Professor of Modern History in Oxford University and Dean of Carlisle, published eight volumes of Catenae on the New Testament. Using different manuscript sources for the different books, he is characterized by Heinrici as an ‘opportunist,’ who utilized available manuscript evidence without regard for its quality. Volumes six and seven (1842–1843) contain a Catena on Galatians through Hebrews inclusive, drawn from MS Paris Coislinianus graecus 204, concerning which J. A. F. Gregg has written: ‘Cramer is entitled to very real gratitude for bringing the Catena to public notice: but his edition is extraordinarily inaccurate—how inaccurate only those can fully realise who have compared it with the original.’ For the book of Galatians this Catena is of special importance, because scholars have repeatedly suggested that it may contain portions of Origen's lost exegetical work on Galatians. This paper represents an analysis of the Catena, and an evaluation of possible Origenic material therein. |
