FOREWORD
The purpose of this Checklist is to make known to scholars the existence and availability of photo
reproductions of manuscripts belonging to the various monasteries on Mt. Athos, Greece. The first
portion of the Checklist is devoted to a detailed description of manuscripts microfilmed by Ernest W.
Saunders of the Garrett Biblical Institute over a period of six months covering the latter part of 1952
and early 1953. Dr. Saunders, working on a United States Educational Exchange Grant for research
in Greece, microfilmed 209 Greek and Georgian Biblical manuscripts in full and selected portions of 44
others containing apocrypha and writings of several of the early Fathers. The microfilms prepared by
Dr. Saunders are in the Library of Congress and are available at the cost of positive prints, which may
be ordered from the Photod'uplication Service, Library of Congress, Washington 25, D. C.
In addition to heralding the availability of the Athos manuscripts to scholars and, in order to avoid
costly duplication of effort on the part of other scholars who might, in the future, journey to Athos on
photographing expeditions, Appendix II lists the photocopies available from three other known deposi
tories: Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften, Berlin, Germany; Harvard University, Cambridge,
Massachusetts; and the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes, Paris, France. Inquiries
concerning manuscripts in these collections should be made directly to the aforementioned institutions.
