Minuscule 213 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 129 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains almost complete text of the four Gospels, with only one lacunae, on 356 parchment leaves (size 20.5 cm by 15.5 cm);[2] the leaves are arranged in octavo (8 leaves in quire).[3] The text of John 19:6-21:25 was supplied in the 14th or 15th century.[4]

The text is written in one column per page, 18 lines per page.[4]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234, 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons, but often irregular used.[4]

It contains the Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical reading, a few αναγνωσεις (lessons), pictures, and numbers of Verses at the end of each Gospel.[5]

Text

The Greek text of the codex Kurt Aland did not include its text to any Category.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixed text in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[7]

It lacks the text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[8]

History

The manuscript was examined by Birch[3] and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[4]

It is currently housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. Z 542), at Venice.[2]
