Mark 16 and the Eusebian Apparatus: Greek and Latin Solutions

The Eusebian apparatus provides a unique look into how the endings of Mark 16 were handled in this paratextual feature of the manuscript tradition. In manuscripts without a Longer Ending, the section numbers for the apparatus typically end at 233. Scribes for manuscripts with a Longer Ending were forced into a decision: ignore section numbering or provide some form of numbering to incorporate the additional material. This paper examines the Eusebian apparatus in several Greek and Latin manuscripts and discusses the solutions to this problem implemented in these two traditions.
