Minuscule 129 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A200 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century. The manuscript has complex contents.[2] It has full marginalia.
Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 355 parchment leaves (size 28.7 cm by 22.6 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 18 lines of biblical text and 44 lines of commentary text per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the Script error: No such module "Lang". (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the Script error: No such module "Lang". (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 – the last numbered section in 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Eusebian Canon tables, prolegomena, tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) are placed before each Gospel, Synaxarion, Menologion, pictures, scholia at the margin, Victor's commentary on Mark, and note on John 7:53, as in 145 and others.[4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1; in Luke 10 and Luke 20 no profile was made.[6]
The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 8:3-11) is placed on the end of the fourth Gospel, on 355 folio.[3]
History
The manuscript was written by Eustathius. In 1438 it was bought in Constantinople by Nicholas de Cuza, Eastern Legate to the Council of Ferrara, along with minuscule 87.[3] It was examined by Andreas Birch (about 1782). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 358), at Rome.[2]
