Fragment des Kommentars des Hieronymus zum Evangelium nach Matthäus. Ausschnitt aus einer Pergamenthandschrift. (Niederlande, 9. Jahrhundert). 5,5 x 5 cm.
From St Jerome’s commentary on the Gospel of Matthew (4:25). The fragment begins with the remains of a few capital letters, which probably originate from a rubric; this is followed by ‘sicut enim [duo in agro,] et duae molen[tes, du]os signific[ant populos, Christianorum et] Iudae[orum, sive...] and on the reverse, ‘[tunc surrexerunt omnes virgines illae,] et ornaverunt [lampade]s suas. Omnes [virgines surre]xerunt, et [ornaverunt unaquae]que l[ampades suas]’.”
