1 John 5:7-8 Comma Johanneum – Trinity College MS 52, Dublin, or the “Book of Armagh” (circa. 9th century C.E.)

Liber Ardmachanus, or Book of Armagh, or Codex Dublinensis. Copied in Ireland, probably Armagh, in 807/8. Written in (what I think is quite beautiful personally) Irish minuscule script.

Now there was a claim by Irish Clergyman in the 19th Century, that this manuscript contained part/parts (“traces”) of the “Comma Johanneum” reading in the below publication:

Enlarged image of the text:

The claim is that that this manuscript contained part/parts (“traces”) of the “Comma Johanneum” reading, either:

1. “in terra”
2. “in coelo”

Are either of these readings in the manuscript? Have a look for yourself!

Beginning of 1st John:

Folio 157, the text of 1st John 5:7-8 etc.

Zoomed in on the text:

Same again:

The claim beside the text:

There is no trace of either:

1. “in terra”
2. “in coelo”

In the Latin text at all. It is a Vulgate text here, with Jerome’s signature: “Christus est veritas” (abbreviated in the MS).

There is no trace of the Comma Johanneum in this manuscript at 1st John 5:7-8 (either in the text or in the margin).
