Minuscule 201 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 403 (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 entire text of the New Testament on 493 parchment leaves (size 34.7 cm by 27.1 cm).[2] The Pauline epistles are followed after the Catholic epistles. The text is written in two columns per page, in 22 lines per page, in light-brown or dark-brown ink, the initial letters in gold.[3]
The text is divided according to the Script error: No such module "Lang". (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their Script error: No such module "Lang". (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the Ammonian Sections, with some references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
It contains synaxaria, tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) before each book, prolegomena (to James and some Pauline epistles), Script error: No such module "Lang". (lessons), subscriptions at the end of each book, numbers of Script error: No such module "Lang"., and Euthalian Apparatus to the Catholic and Pauline epistles.[3][4]
According to colophons, Gospel of Matthew was written in 8 years after Ascension, Mark – 10 years, Luke 15 years, and John 32 years.
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] Its text is very close to the codex 480.
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kr in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20, as its perfect member.[5]
History
According to the colophon from Epistle to Hebrews the manuscript was written by scribe named Methodius (in 6866):
ετελειωθη μηνι οικτοβφιω ζ ινδικτιωνη ια ετους ςωξς. Μεθοδιε χειρ τω θυτορακενδυτου[7]
Formerly the manuscript belonged to the monastery S. Marco in Florence. Later it belonged to Samuel Butler Bishop of Lichfield.[3]
Giovanni Lami was the first who described the manuscript. It was examined by Wettstein, Birch, Griesbach, Bloomfield, Scrivener, and C. R. Gregory (1883). Griesbach placed it twice on his list of manuscripts of NT, as 107 and 201.[3]
It is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 11837) in London.[2]
