Minuscule 756 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε1128 (von Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament written on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. The manuscript has no complex contents.[3][4] Scrivener labelled it as 772e.[5]

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 179 parchment leaves (size 19.3 cm by 14.5 cm),[3] with some lacunae (Matthew 5:1-6:15; 6:29-8:12; John 4:31-21:25). The leaves are arranged in quarto (four leaves in quire).[1][6]

The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3] It contains lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical use.[1]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it as K text, established by Lucian of Antioch ca. 300 A.D. Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[8]

History

Scrivener[5] and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 11th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[4]

The manuscript was written by Michael, a scribe; it belonged to Stephanus, a scribe. In 1892 it was held in Athens.[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (772)[5] and Gregory (756).[6]

The manuscript is now housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Suppl. Gr. 1083) in Paris.[3][4]
