Psalms - Zurich Psalter to Sinaiticus corrections

"Zurich Psalter ... The readings of this MS. are in frequent agreement with Codex Alexandrinus, and to a still more remarkable extent with the second corrector of Codex Sinaiticus" - Henry Barclay Swete

The text of T (Zurich Psalter, Psalterium Turicense purpureum.) agrees generally with that of cod. A, and still more closely with the hand in cod. א‎ known as א‎c.a.

Any time a corrector of Sinaiticus is connected to a manuscript, strong consideration should be given to the possibility that the manuscript was actually used for correction. Other explanations of the connection are clearly very difficult. Why would a manuscript look at Sinaiticus corrections and not the Sinaiticus text, if it is thought that the connection is based on the chronological primacy of Sinaiticus.

This arises against and again, and is a unique phenomenon to Sinaiticus.

Finally, the entire MS. was copied in 1856 by Tischendorf, who after comparing his copy with the original in the autumn of 1869 gave it to the world in the fourth volume of his Monumcnta sacra inedila (Nov. Coll.)4,

Konstantin von Tischendorf, who published the text in the fourth volume of his Nova Collectio (1869), ascribes the handwriting to the seventh century.

The text of the Codex Turicensis agrees generally with that of the Codex Alexandrinus (A), and still more closely with the hand in Codex Sinaiticus (S, א).

Attention was called to the importance of its text in a dissertation by J. J. Breitinger 2, published in 1748, and a collation was obtained by Parsons, the continiuator of Holmes, who cites it as MS. 262 3, Finally, the entire MS. was copied in 1856 by Tischendorf, who after comparing his copy with the original in the autumn of 1869 gave it to the world in the fourth volume of his Monumenta sacra in edita (Nov. Coll.)4, adding prolegomena, and a coloured representation of Ps- cxxxvii. 6—cxxxviii. 2 5. The collation of the Zurich Psalter for the present edition is based upon Tischendorf's reproduction.

The Rubrication of the Psalms in Codex Sinaiticus (2015)
Mark Randall James
https://www.academia.edu/20044552/The_Rubrication_of_the_Psalms_in_Codex_Sinaiticus

Scribe A's occasional tendency to omit entire lines suggests that their exemplar was most likely already formatted in this
way.31

31 Jongkind, Scribal Habits, 201.

1671318567486.png


The book of Psalms was written by two scribes: scribe D wrote both
text and rubrics through the end of folio 62:3 recto (to Psalm 97:3),
after which scribe A wrote both to the end. By all accounts D is the
more able scribe: it may be that he insisted on writing the bulk of the
Psalms due to its more involved formatting, and/or that he wrote the
first portion of the book as a model for A to follow/2 Another scribe
has traced over A’s rubrication. Milne and Skeat claim that, on the
basis of the orthography of the tracing, it is possible to identify the
second as D/3 Jongkind is less sanguine/4 Milne and Skeat also argue
that the red text must have been inserted as the scribe went along,
because of the difficulty of calculating in advance and leaving blank
the space required for the red text/5 Jongkind has shown that this must
be incorrect, however, since many of the errors we will consider below
are best explained by a scribe leaving blank spaces in the main text and
then returning to add red ink later/6
1671318529768.png

=================================

Jongkind p. 201

The frequent occurrence of missing poetic lines indicates that the exemplar, or an ancestor further down if the missing lines are an inherited feature, was written in a format in which each poetic line was attributed its own physical line (as in Sinaiticus) and unlike, for example, the Bodmer papyrus XXIV (Rahlfs 2110), where poetic lines arc only marked off by interpunction.

One of the most interesting comments from Dirk Jongkind:

Scribal Habits of Codex Sinaiticus (2007)
Dirk Jongkind

The frequent occurrence of missing poetic lines indicates that the exemplar, or an ancestor further down if the missing lines are an inherited feature, was written in a format in which each poetic line was attributed its own physical line (as in Sinaiticus) and unlike, for example, the Bodmer papyrus XXIV (Rahlfs 2110), where poetic lines are only marked off by interpunction. - p. 201

And Dirk Jongkind on the question of missing lines was also referenced by Mark Randall James:

The Rubrication of the Psalms in Codex Sinaiticus (2015)

https://www.academia.edu/20044552/The_Rubrication_of_the_Psalms_in_Codex_Sinaiticus

Scribe A's occasional tendency to omit entire lines suggests that their exemplar was most likely already formatted in this way.
Click to expand...

=========================

Missing lines, often with corrections inserting the missing text, are very common in Sinaiticus. And this is not limited to the poetic books. They can tell us about theorized and actual exemplars used in the writing of Sinaiticus.

Notice that this connection can be direct, or indirect:
“or an ancestor further down if the missing lines are an inherited feature”.

Also note that there are actually two different textual relationships that need to be properly delineated.

=========================

1) the exemplar can line up with the original omission, especially if the line length (and possibly textual features such as similar line endings) is a good fit.

Extra Note:
There can be variable sense-lines or a fixed-line-length in the exemplar relationship. E.g. a drop of 42 letters might come from a fixed-length exemplar of approximately 14, 21 or 42 letters per line.

2) the exemplar can be used directly for the corrections.

Extra Note:
In (2) we may find surprising notes about the textual affinity between certain localized Sinaiticus corrections and a specific extant manuscript. Such a note should always pique the special interest of textual studies. And when a manuscript is used for correction, you would not expect the neighboring text verses to be close-to-identical.

Note also that in (2) it is hardly feasible that the Sinaiticus corrections will have a direct affect on the text of a new manuscript. It is very easy for the exemplar manuscript text to be placed into the correction text of Sinaiticus. If this is discovered, it means that the terminus post quem of the Sinaiticus corrections can be no earlier than the terminus post quem of the correction manuscript. We may need to look closely as to the palaeographic dating of the corrections as well (e.g. as they considered to be part of the original production, or hundreds of years later.)

=========================

Now, for further context, there are various other elements that can help see these connections. Formatting, rubrication, punctuation, spelling, localized textual agreement, etc. all have the capability of helping or hurting a proposed textual connection. Also you may want to check multiple potential sources in determining a potential fit. Plus the number of textual connections will also be a factor.

=========================

There has been very little study, analysis or discussion about the larger missing text spots in Sinaiticus. And I have never seen a breakdown of the two quite different relationships above, (1) and (2).

It is, however, consolatory to know that those portions of the psalms, which are deficient in the Codices, Alexandrinus and Vaticanus, may be supplied from the Codex Turicensis3: and this circumstance, it should seem, occasioned the generally accurate traveller, Mr. Coxe (whose error has been implicitly copied by succeeding writers) to state that the MS. here described once formed part of the Codex Vaticanus.1

In the department of Textual Criticism we have to mention that the Monumenla Sacra Inedita, published by Const. Tischendorf, contain in Vol. IV. of the Nova Collectio, 1869, the Psalterium Turicense, important for the criticism of the Text of the Septuagint. It was written upon purple parchment, in silver and gold, about the 7th century. It consists of 223 leaves, and comprises 118 Psalms, together with 9 Biblical Hymns and 1 Church Hymn. Its readings show more agreement with the Cod. Alex, than with the Cod. Vat., and often confirm those of the Aldine and Complutensian texts. The relation which it exhibits to one of the correctors of the Cod. Sinait. is worthy of special attention. The insertion, in elegant red letters, of the first word of each verse in Latin from the Vulgate of Jerome, by the side of the Greek Text, goes to show that it was executed in the West.”

Swete’s Edition of O. T. in Greek, vol. ii. p. 8.

A Lost Uncial Codex of the Psalms.

THE Biblical documents to which attention has been drawn dealt with the text of the Hebrew Old Testament, and with that of the Greek New Testament. It is proposed in what follows, to say something about the Greek Old Testament, for, as will be shown in Chapter V., this is, in a large number of instances, a more trustworthy guide to what the original Hebrew of the Old Testament was than the present Hebrew text itself; that is to say, in many passages of the Old Testament the Greek Version represents a more original form of the Hebrew than the Massoretic text*
The documents hitherto discussed have all been
brought to light within recent years ; in this chapter we
propose to illustrate the melancholy truth that ancient
Biblical documents have sometimes been lost owing to
lack of sufficient precaution on the part of those who were
ultimately responsible for their preservation.
Not long ago the writer had occasion to apply to the
authorities of the Royal Library at Turin, asking for
permission to have some photographs taken of a
manuscript (Septuagint) of the Minor Prophets;

For our transcriptions, we have depended on the edition of Constantin von Tischendorf, Psalterium Turicense Purpureum (Leipzig: Hinrichs, 1869), 208–23. As the recent comprehensive study of this manuscript by Edoardo Crisci, Christoph Eggenberger, Robert Fuchs, and Doris Oltrogge points out, this manuscript offers an important early example of the transformation of the Christian book from its simple, less professional early stages to the grander, more complex formats of the late antique and early Byzantine periods (“11 Salterio Purpureo Zentralbibliothek Zurich, RPl,” Segno e Testo 5 (2007): 31-98). 'The grandeur of this edition suggests to Crisci that it may well have been copied in Constantinople before being taken to Rome sometime before the mid-eighth century (pp. 62-63).

So you seem to be looking at all the old manuscripts in the world, looking to see if any resemble Sinaiticus, and then retrospectively alleging without a shred of evidence that they were used in the production of a modern Sinaiticus.

You are missing the basics.

There was no reason to look all over the world, since this textual affinity was pointed out in an author's preface in November, 1870, as we see in the 1872 edition of the Psalms by Carl Bernhard Moll (1805-1878), in an edition with Schaff, Lange, et al.

So, who has given this textual affinity the needed "special attention"?

Have you?
Since you say there is not a shred of evidence .

FOOTNOTE 56 - p. 52-53
56 Gli studi condotti sulla recensione testuale del Salterio di Zurigo non hanno portato a risultati univoci e convincenti. L’ipotesi di un’origine occidentale del manoscritto è cautamente adombrata nelle parole di Swete, An Introduction (cit. n. 43), 142: -Like Cod.

56 The studies conducted on the textual revision of the Zurich Psalter have not led to unambiguous and convincing results. The hypothesis of a Western origin of the manuscript is cautiously adumbrated in the words of Swete, An Introduction (cit. n. 43), 142: -Like Cod.

a proposito di queste osservazioni occorre tuttavia notare che la traduzione latina apposta in margine non è sicuramente coeva al testo greco ma è stata realizzata in un secondo momento; non è peraltro chiaro a quali divisioni liturgiche di stampo occidentale faccia riferimento Swete, se non a quelle del Salmo 118 (cfr. p. 45 n. 42) che il Salterio di Zurigo sembra avere in comune con la versione Gallicana (Ga), argomento un po’ debole, a mio parere, perché vi si possa fondare l’ipotesi di un’origine occidentale del Salterio. Ancor più incerto nel prendere una posizione netta fra origine occidentale ovvero origine orientale del manoscritto si mostra Rahlfs [hrsg. von], Septuaginta-Studien (cit. n. 36), 39:

«auch T mòchte man hierher rechnen, da diese Hs. lateinische Beischriften hat, doch ist es mir nicht sicher genug, ob der griechische Text im Abendlande selbst geschrieben oder villeicht aus dem Osten importiert ist».





regarding these observations, however, it should be noted that the Latin translation in the margin is certainly not contemporary with the Greek text but was created at a later time; Furthermore, it is not clear to which Western-style liturgical divisions Swete refers, if not to those of Psalm 118 (see p. 45 n. 42) which the Zurich Psalter seems to have in common with the Gallican version (Ga), a topic a little weak, in my opinion, for the hypothesis of a Western origin of the Psalter to be based on it. Even more uncertain in taking a clear position between the Western or Eastern origin of the manuscript is Rahlfs [hrsg. von], Septuaginta-Studien (cit. n. 36), 39:

“One would also like to include T here, since this ms. has Latin inscriptions, but I am not sure enough whether the Greek text was written in the West itself or perhaps imported from the East.”
