Catena in Psalmos.
| Biblical text with catena commentary ("Textkatene”), that belongs to Catena Typus VI Karo-Lietzmann (CPG C19). This manuscript is the main witness of the first volume of the tripartite edition of the Catena Palestinensis (cf. CPG C12). The other witnesses of this first volume are mss. Ra 1021, 1113, 1270; apographs of Ra 1121 are the mss. Ra 1178, 1705. Otherwise, only the second volume of this tripartite edition has survived (Ra 1209). Together with Ra 1209, Ra 1121 is the most important witness which stands out from the others, since these two manuscripts have preserved a non-Lucianic biblical text that is very close to the text of the Origenic recension. The text-critical significance of these two catena manuscripts for the constitution of the Greek Psalter text can hardly be overestimated, see Albrecht, “Origenic Recension”.
