FOREWORD
[v]
The purpose of this Checklist
is to make known to scholars the existence and availability of photo-
reproductions of manuscripts belonging to the various monasteries
on Mt. Athos, Greece. The first portion of the Checklist
is devoted to a detailed description of manuscripts microfilmed
by Ernest W. Saunders of the Garrett Biblical Institute over a period
of six months covering the latter part of 1952 and early 1953. Dr.
Saunders, working on a United States Educational Exchange Grant
for research in Greece, microfilmed 209 Greek and Georgian Biblical
manuscripts in full and selected portions of 44 others containing
apocrypha and writings of several of the early Fathers. The microfilms
prepared by Dr. Saunders are in the Library of Congress and are
available at the cost of positive prints, which may be ordered from
the Photoduplication Service, Library of Congress, Washington, D.
C.
In addition to heralding the availability
of the Athos manuscripts to scholars and, in order to avoid costly
duplication of effort on the part of other scholars who might, in
the future, journey to Athos on photographing expeditions, Appendix
II lists the photocopies available from three other known depositories:
Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften, Berlin, Germany; Harvard University,
Cambridge, Massachusetts; and the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire
des Textes, Paris, France. Inquiries concerning manuscripts in these
collections should be made directly to the aforementioned institutions.
