Euthalian Apparatus

From Textus Receptus

List of chapters in Minuscule 676 (Gregory-Aland) according to the Euthalian Apparatus

The Euthalian Apparatus is a collection of additional editorial material, such as divisions of text, lists, and summaries, to the New Testament's Book of Acts, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles. This additional material appears at the beginnings of books, in the margin of the text, and at the ends of books. This material is traditionally associated with the name of Euthalius.

Description

Euthalius divided the text of the Acts and Catholic epistles into chapters, with a summary of contents at the top of each chapter. To Euthalius were also referred a division of the Acts into 16 αναγνωσεις (lessons) and of the Pauline epistles into 31 sections. But these lessons are quite different.^[1] Euthalius prepared also the text of the Acts and Epistles in which text is written stichometrically.^[2]

To the Euthalian Apparatus belong: a chronology of the Apostle Paul, the martyrdom of Paul, a list of places at which the Epistles were thought to be written, and the names associated with Paul in the headings to the Epistles.^[3] The quotation from the Old Testament cited in the Pauline epistles are numbered and catalogued in a list.^[2] Overall, the Apparatus is a collection of varied aids for the reader.^[3]

Authorship

The authorship usually is attributed to the one Euthalius. He was identified as Bishop of Sulci in Sardinia, but according to Tregelles he was a Bishop of Sulca in Egypt.^[4] According to Wake and L. A. Zacagni Euthalius was a Bishop of Sulce, near Syene.^[5]

It was suggested that the name of the real author of the Apparatus was Evagrius. According to John Mill it was Theodore of Mopsuestia.^[2] sup>[6]</sup> Hermann von Soden thought, that Euthalius lived in the 7th century, possibly in Antioch.^[5]

Bruce M. Metzger stated: "How much of this supplementary material was drawn up by Euthalius and how much was added later is not known."^[3]

The Euthalian Apparatus is contained in numerous manuscripts: Codex Mutinensis, Codex Basilensis A. N. IV. 2, Minuscule 3, 5, 6, 35, 38, and many other mediaeval manuscripts of the New Testament.
