Barberini Manuscript (CODEX BARBERINUS), which belongs to the Barberini Library at Rome, No. 225, and is now designated by the letter Y, is a fragment (six leaves) of John's gospel, written on vellum, in folio, probably of the 8th century. It contains Joh 16:3 - 19:41 prefixed to a Codex of the gospels (G 392) furnished with Theophylact's commentaries, of the 12th century. The text is mixed, and lies about midway between Cod. A and Cod. B, i.e. between the Vatican and Alexandrinus. Scholz imperfectly collated the fragment, and Tischendorf published it entire, with a facsimile, in his Monumenta Sacra Inedita, in 1846.

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
