Nanian Manuscript
(CODEX NANIANUS, designated as U of the Gospels, now in the Library of St. Mark, Venice, where it is numbered I, 8), so called from a former possessor, is an uncial codex of the 9th or 10th century, containing the four Gospels, carefully and luxuriously written in two columns of twenty-one lines each on a 4to page, with ornaments in gold and colors. It has the Eusebian canons in the margin. It accords with the Alexandrine recension. Miinter first sent some extracts from it to Birch, who used them for his edition. Tischendorf collated the MS. in 1843, and Tregelles in 1846, and they compared their work for mutual correction at Leipsic. See Scrivener, Introd. page 117; Tregelles, in Horme's Introd. 4:202.

The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
