Greek Manuscripts on Mt. Athos

Katie Leggett has posted a very thorough and informative article on the Greek manuscripts on Mt. Athos. While she focuses on the 1037 recorded Greek New Testament manuscripts, her detailed discussion of the collections and catalogues is very valuable also for setting context for the Old Testament manuscripts. For comparison, I did a quick search of the Göttingen Verzeichnis from 2012 and found 250 Septuagint manuscripts from Mt. Athos dating from the 9th–16th centuries. Of these, not surprisingly, almost 200 contain the Psalms.
