Manuscripts thus dated enable us to fix with some degree of certainty the age of others in which no date appears. Digitized by Google 664 PALEOGRAPHY. This essential portion of Greek palœographj leaves nothing more to be desired ; but it is far otherwise with Latin pate- ographj ; and if no one has jet undertaken a labor, in respect to Latin manuscripts, similar to that executed so well by the learned Benedictine, we must rather impute the blame to the negligence of ancient Latinists, than to t...he zeal of modem scholarship. It is, indeed, well known, that the number of Latin manuscripts which bear the notes or subscriptions of the copyists, is proportionablj much smaller than that of the Greek. Either from custom, or perhaps from a spirit of Christian humility, the Latin scribes of the middle ages, who generally belonged to the clerical or monastic Orders, offered their works to Heaven, and despised the sufirages of mankind. The rules of many Orders, in fact, imposed upon such of the monks as were capably the obligation of copying the Holy Scriptures; regarding this as a work meritorious towards the Creator.
