Minuscule 869 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Cι21 (von Soden),[1][2] is a 12th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on paper, with a commentary. The manuscript has no complex context.

Description

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of John (6:20-11:57) on 245 paper leaves (size 28 cm by 22 cm), with one lacuna. The text is written in one column per page, 25 lines per page.[3][4] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena.[5][6]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.[5]

Text

Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[7]

History

F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century, C. R. Gregory dated it to the 12th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 17th century.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (684e)[6] and Gregory (869e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Gr. 1996), in Rome.[3][4]
