Four More Witnesses Affirming Mark 16:9-20

 The indefatiguible Jil De La Tourette has recently confirmed the following:

· An Anonymous Author in the 400s writing Consultationes Zacchei Christiani et Appolonii Philosophi (Questions of a Pagan to a Christian) - in Book II, XII:18 utilized Mark 16:19.  (Thanks to Rahel Schar for working on this source.)

· Quodvultdeus of Carthage (mid-400s) quoted from Mark 16:19 several times in Liber Promissionum et Praedicatorum Dei  (Book of the Promises and Predictions of God), Book III, XXX:31-32 (16:14 twice) and Book III, XXX. 32 (16:19).

· The Venerable Bede in
De Tabernaculo
 cited 16:15-16 in Book II, 63, 16:19 in  Book II, 98 16:17-18 in Book III, 34, and 16:19 in Book III, 116.

· John Scotus Erigena (800s) utilized material from 16:9-20 in Periphyseon (On the Division of Nature) in Book IV, 760A & 774B and Book V, 912A.

This information supplements the data about early manuscripts,  earlier patristic sources, early versions, lectionaries, and talismans supportive of the last twelve verses of the second Gospel compiled in my book Authentic:  The Case for Mark 16:9-20 (4th ed.), now available on Amazon.
