The BNF Manuscript, Br. 2427 and the Translation of Jn. XII-XVII

The Romance tradition of a selected passage from the Gospel of John (XII-XVII) has long claimed scholarly attention, attracted by the exceptional nature of the individual manuscripts. This small but very interesting recensio has recently been associated with the BNF codex, fr. 2427. This study aims to enhance this new acquisition by offering a detailed technical description of it and tracing the fourteenth-century history of the Johannine text, in view of the edition that will follow this contribution in the next future.
