Codex Usserianus II

Codex Usserianus II

The Codex Usserianus II, designated by r2 or 28 (in the Beuron system), is an 8th to 10th century Latin Gospel Book, also known as The Garland of Howth. The text, written on vellum, is a version of the old Latin. The manuscript contains the text of the four Gospels with lacunae.[1]

The text of the codex is mixed.[1] The text of Matthew is Old Latin, similar to that in Codex Usserianus I. The text of Mark, Luke, and John is very near to the Vulgate.[2]

Abbott made a collation. The manuscript was examined and edited by Lawlor, Hoskier, and Jülicher.[1]

Currently it is housed at the Trinity College (A. IV. 6) at Dublin.[1]
