Minuscule 222 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A404 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on paper. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 14th century.[2] The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 346 paper leaves (size 21.8 cm by 15.4 cm), with some lacunae (Matthew 1:1-6:19; John 14:2-16:4; 16:7-fin).[2] It is written in one column per page, 24-32 lines per page.[3]

It contains a commentary (Victor's in Mark).[3][4]

Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[5] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[6] In result his textual character is unknown.

History

The manuscript was brought by Busbecq from Constantinople (along with Minuscule 123 and 221). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1887.[3]

It is currently housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. Gr. 180), at Vienna.[2][7]
