[Footnote 22: In a polemic satirical pamphlet the question was
started: "Master, tell me what birds are the best, those which eat and
drink, or those which eat and do not drink? and why are those which
eat but do not drink, enemies to those which eat and drink?" A Latin
pamphlet which decided for those which do not drink, was followed by a
Bohemian refutation.]
[Footnote 23: This manuscript, one of the most remarkable of the age,
is in the library of Jena. It has not less than eighty-eight pictures,
partly on paper, partly on parchment; and besides this forty-one
smaller figures, scattered through the text itself. See Dobrovsky's
_Reise nach Schweden_, p. 7; also his _Geschichte der boehm. Sprache_.
p. 235.]
[Footnote 24: By whole Bibles are here intended also those
manuscripts, of which, although in their present state incomplete, it
is presumed that the missing parts were lost accidentally. The New
Testaments also are not all of them perfect. Of single biblical books,
manuscripts of the Psalms are found the most frequently. See
