'Xρονογραϕία 'Iωάννου' Aντιοχέως τού καί Mαλάλα', a transcript of MS. Barocci 182, with Latin translation in parallel columns and marginal notes, by Edmund Chilmead (not John Gregory as suggested in a note on fol. iii).

Prefixed to it (fol. i) are excerpts from the Barocci MS. (194) of the Chronicon of Georgios Hamartolos, whose name is not given, also with Latin translation. The MS. is 'copy' made ready for the press, and was printed at Oxford in 1691 with prolegomena by dr. Humphrey Hody.

Abstract

'Xρονογραϕία 'Iωάννου' Aντιοχέως τού καί Mαλάλα', a transcript of MS. Barocci 182, with Latin translation in parallel columns and marginal notes, by Edmund Chilmead

Biographical / Historical

Edmund Chilmead (1610-1654) was a writer, specifically known for his notes on Greek historians.

Other Finding Aids

Falconer Madan, et al., A summary catalogue of western manuscripts in the Bodleian Library at Oxford which have not hitherto been catalogued in the Quarto series (7 vols. in 8 [vol. II in 2 parts], Oxford, 1895-1953; reprinted, with corrections in vols. I and VII, Munich, 1980), vol. II, no. 8713

Immediate Source of Acquisition

'Michael Cook his book', 17th cent. Bought with other MSS. of Antiochenus (MSS. Auct. T. infr. 2. 14, Rawl. D. 1083) for £50 in 1672.

Related Materials

The volume now marked MS. Auct. T. infr. 2. 14 contains Chilmead's autograph notes on Johannes Antiochenus or Malala as printed in the Oxford edition of 1691: the references are to the pages of MS. Auct. T. infr. 2. 5, and it was doubtless acquired along with that MS., not, as suggested in vol. v of this Catalogue, in 1707: but it escaped all lists until 1747.

The volume now marked MS. Rawl. (d. 1083, which contains John Gregory's Animadversiones in Johannem Malalam is stated to have first come into the Library after Gregory's death which occurred on Mar. 13, 164 6/7, see Wood's Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 206: but since Chilmead is said to have intended to prefix Gregory's Observations to his own edition by way of preface, it seems likely that this MS. accompanied MSS. Auct. T. infr. 2. 5 and Auct. T. infr. 2. 14 into the Library in 1672. It may have been lent out subsequently for use in the 1691 edition and was referenced at a later date among the Rawlinson MSS. which came in in 1756.
