CO-EDUCATION
that it was there in the fifteenth century. The addi-
tion to the New Testament was listed by Scrivener as
Cod. 263 (in Gregorj-, 293) for the Epistle to the
Hebrews, and Cod. 91, for the Apocalypse. Napoleon
I had the codex brought to Paris (where Hug was
enabled to study it), but it was afterwards returned
to the Holy See," with some other remnants of Roman
booty, and replaced in the Vatican Library. There
are various collations, editions, and studies of the
Vatican Codex. The collations are: (1) that of
Bartolocci (Giulio di S. Anastasia), formerly librarian
of the Vatican; it was done in 1669 and is preserved
in MS. — Gr. Suppl. 53 of the Bibliotheque Nationale —
at Paris (quoted under the sigla: Blc); (2) that of
Birch (Bch) published at Copenhagen in 1798 for the
Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles, in 1800 for the
Apocalypse, in 1801 for the Gospels ; (3) that executed
for Bentley (Btly) by the Abbate Mico about 1720 on
the margin of a copy of the Greek New Testament
which was published at Strasburg, 1524, by Cephalaeus;
this copy is among Bentley's books in the library of
Trinity College, Cambridge — the collation itself was
published in Ford's appendix to Woide's edition of
the Codex Alexandrinus in 1799; (4) a list of the
alterations executed by the original copyist or by his
correctors, edited at the request of Bentley by the
Abbate Rulotta with the aid of the Abbate de Stosch
(Rlt) ; this list was supposed to have perished, but it
is extant among the Bentley papers in the library of
Trinity College, Cambridge, under the sigla: B. 17.20;
(5) in 1860 Alford, and in 1862 Cure, examined a
select number of the readings of the Vatican Codex,
and published the results of their labours in the first
volume of Alford's Greek Testament. Many other
scholars have made special collations for their own
purposes, e. g. Tregelles, Tischendorf, Alford, etc.
Among the works written on the Vatican Codex we
may indicate: Bourgon, "Letters from Rome" (Lon-
don, 1861). In the second volume of the Catalogue
of Vatican Greek MSS., executed according to the
modern scientific method for the cataloguing of the
Vatican Library, there is a description of the Codex
Vaticanus.
As to the editions of this code.x, the Roman edition of the Septuagint (1587) was based on the Vaticanus. Similarly, the Cambridge edition of Swete follows it regularly and makes use of the Sinaiticus and the Alexandrinus only for the portions that are lacking in the Vaticanus. The first Roman edition appeared in 1858, under the names of Mai and Vercellone, and, under the same names, a second Roman edition in 1859. Both editions were severely criticized by Tischendorf in the edition he brought out at Leipzig in 1867, "Novum Testamentum Vaticanum, post A. Mali aliorumque imperfectos labores ex ipso codice editum", with an appendix (1869). The third Roman edition (Verc.) appeared under the names of Vercel- lone (died 1869) and Cozza-Luzi (died 1905) in 1868- 81 ; it was accompanied by a photographic reproduc- tion of the text: "Bibliorum SS. Grsecorum Cod. Vat. 1209, Cod. B, denvio phototypice expressus, jussu et cura pra'sidimi BibliothecEe Vatican^" (Milan, 1904- ()). This edition contains a masterly anonymous introduction (by Giovanni Mercati), in which the w'riter corrects many inexact statements made by previous writers. Until recently the privilege of con- sulting this ancient manuscript quite freely and fully was not granted to all who sought it. The material condition of the Vatican Codex is better, generally speaking, than that of its contemporaries; it is fore- seen, however, that within a century it will have fallen to pieces unless an efficacious remedy, which is being earnestly sought for, shall be discovered.

Codrington, Thom.\s (d. 1691?), Catholic divine, chiefly knowai for his attempt to introduce into Eng- land the " Institute of Secular Priests Living in Com- munity", founded in Bavaria by Bartholomiius Holzhauser. He was educated and ordained priest at Douai, where he taught humanities for a time. Later on he lived with (Cardinal Howard at Rome, acting as his cliaplain and secretary. He returned to England in July, 1684, and on the accession of James II in the following year, he was appointed one of the royal chaplains and preachers in ordinary. ^^^lile he was in Rome he had joined the institute above mentioned, in which Cardinal Howard took a great personal interest, and his return to England seemed to the superior. Father Hofer, a favourable opportunity for extending the institute. .Accord- ingly Mr. Codrington and his companion, Mr. John Morgan, were appointed procurators to introduce the institute into England. The object of the society, the constitutions of which had been approved by Innocent XI in 1680, was to encourage community- life among t he secular clergJ^ This was to be attained by priests residing together, and doing their work from a common centre, all being subject to the bishop. In this work he received much assistance from Car- dinal Howard, who addressed letters both to the secular clergj- and to the dean of the chapter, e.xhort- ing all English priests to join the institute. Even before leaving Rome he had been active in propa- gating the institute, and had, with his colleagues, endeavoured not only to introduce it into all the English colleges abroad, but even to make it obliga- torj' on the superiors by a decree. Some progress was in fact made, but before much could be effected the Revolution took place, and in 1688 James II fled from England. Mr. Codrington followed his patron abroad to Saint-Gennain, where he continued to act as chaplain until his death, which took place about 1691. For some years strenuous efforts were made to spread the institute in England, and in 1697 special consti- tutions, designed to meet the peculiar circumstances of English priests, were published with a preface, which shows that several of the leading missioners liad joined it. The chapter, however, were unre- lenting, on the ground tliat it was unsuitable in Eng- land and would lead to dissensions among the clergy, and ultimately Bishop Giffard suppressed it. Mr. Codrington published a sermon preached before the king and queen, 28 Nov., 1686, and another preached before the queen-dowager, 6 Feb., 1687. The former of these was republished in the 1741 reprint entitled "Catholic Sermons".

Co-education. — The term is now generally reserved to the practice of educating the sexes together; but even in this sense it has a variety of meanings, (a) Mere juxtaposition; this implies the use of the same buildings and equipment under the same teaching staff for the education of both sexes, but does not oblige the sexes to follow the same methods or to live under the same regimen, (b) Co-ordinate education; the .students are taught by the same methods and the same teachers and are governed by the same general administration; but each -sex has its own classes and, in the ca^^e of a university, its separate college, (c) Identical education ; both sexes are taught " the same things, at the same time, in the same place, by the
