SEE Cornelius à Lapide’s Preface to St. Mark; wherein he speaks of the Original of this Evangelist, preserved, as is pretended, at Venice. He cites there Pagninus Gaudentius, Professor at Pisa, who wrote a Dissertation on the same Subject.
See too M. Spanheim, de Historiæ Evangelicæ Scriptoribus, & in specie de Marco Evangelista, tom. 2. p. 265. of the new Edition of his Works at Leyden, 1703, in fol.

Joan. Gretseri Disputatio de Vino Myrrhato, Christo in crucem porrecto; printed at Ingolstadt, 1616, in fol. at the end of the fifth Book of the first Tome: wherein he endeavours to reconcile St. Mark with St. Matthew. For the first says, in ch 15. that before they crucified Jesus Christ, they gave him Wine mingled with Myrrh to drink, and that he would not take it; & non accepit. The second writes that it was Wine mingled with Gall, and that he tasted it; & cum gustâsset. This is the whole Subject of the Disputation, which is purely critical. John George Hutten treated likewise of it: His Piece was printed at Guben, 1673, in 4to. He was a German Lutheran.
Upon the Divinity of Jesus Christ, and upon Levi.
Gerard Outhove wrote a Dissertation upon ver. 39. of the 4th Chapter of St. Mark; wherein he demonstrates the Divinity of Jesus Christ by the Miracles which he wrought in commanding the Winds, and the Sea: It is in Hasæus’s Bibliotheca Philologica, tom. 1. p. 66. of the second Part. Herein he reconciles this Passage with that of St. Matthew, chap. 8. ver. 26. and that of Luke, chap. 8. ver. 24. He was a Lutheran Minister of Emden in Frizeland. He composed likewise other Works upon the Scripture, mentioned ibid. p. 194, 205.
The same Hasæus, or his Brother, has a Dissertation upon chap. 2. ver. 14. to shew that Levi, called to the Apostleship by Jesus Christ, was not St. Matthew, as is generally believed, but Judas Thaddæus. It is in the same Collection, tom. 5. p. 475, 506. He there reconciles St. Luke with St. Mark upon this Subject.
John Christopher Biel has an Observation on the same Subject; tom. 6. p. 1038.

Gabriel Reehaan, a German Lutheran likewise, and Minister of Grafendorff, wrote a Harmony of the four Evangelists, upon the Women mentioned in chap. 16. of St. Mark, under this Title, Διάσκεψις Theologica; printed at Wittemberg, in 1619, in 4to.
John Andrew Sleich, another German Lutheran, has treated of the Apostles Tears, upon chap. 16. ver. 10. ibid. 1688, in 4to.
