Below are the subscriptions to Paul’s epistles as found in Codex Vaticanus. I have looked previously at these notes as they appear in some manuscripts, the Textus Receptus, and traditional-text English translations, such as the Geneva and King James Bibles.
Be aware:
- Codex Vaticanus does not have the epistles to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon, neither the end of Hebrews. Therefore, there are no subscriptions for these.
- The information reflects my attempt to (1) slog through the Majuscule writing (all caps all jammed together), and (2) translate what I thought I saw. They may need to be taken with a grain of salt!
- I did not readily find a list of these subscriptions re Vaticanus, so I looked at the manuscript on the Vatican Library (DigiVatLib) website. Better transcriptions and translations may exist elsewhere.
- The general consensus is that the subscriptions are not original, but added by a later scribe.
