Minuscule 6 is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on parchment. It is designated by the siglum 6 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts, and δ 356 in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts.[1] Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been dated to the 13th century.[2] The manuscript has complex contents and full marginal notes. It was adapted for liturgical use.
Description
The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book format), containing the entirety of the New Testament except the Book of Revelation made of 235 parchment leaves (14.4 cm by 10.5 cm), with one gap - Titus 2:2-end, and Philemon 1:1-11 are missing.[3]Template:R/superscript It has the Catholic epistles placed before the Pauline epistles, something not done in modern bibles. The text is written in one column per page, 29-47 lines per page.[2]Template:R/superscript It is written in elegant small letters.[3]
The text is divided according to the chapters (known as Script error: No such module "Lang". / kephalaia), whose numbers are given in the margin, and their titles (known as Script error: No such module "Lang". / titloi) at the top of the pages. The text of the Gospels is also divided according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Matthew 356, Mark 234 – the last section in 16:9, Luke 342, and John 226).[3]Template:R/superscript
It contains introductions (known as prolegomena), with the tables of contents (also known as Script error: No such module "Lang".) placed before each book; it contains synaxaria,[4] the Euthalian Apparatus, and ornamentations.[3]Template:R/superscript At the end it has the liturgy of John Chrysostom. The subscriptions at the end of each book which contain the numbers of lines (known as Script error: No such module "Lang". / stichoi) were added by a later hand.[3]Template:R/superscript
The order of books is as follows: Gospels, Book of Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles.[3]Template:R/superscript At the end of the Second Epistle to Timothy it has the subscription Script error: No such module "Lang". (Second Timothy, from Rome), the same subscription as seen in the manuscripts Codex Porphyrianus (P), Minuscule 1739 and 1881.[5]
Text
The text of the Catholic epistles and Pauline epistles are considered a representative of the Alexandrian text-type, with numerous alien readings. Biblical scholar Kurt Aland placed these books from the manuscript in Category III of his New Testament manuscript classification system. Category III manuscripts are described as having "a small but not a negligible proportion of early readings, with a considerable encroachment of [Byzantine] readings, and significant readings from other sources as yet unidentified."[6]Template:R/superscriptTemplate:Rp This text belongs to the textual Family 1739. In the Gospels and Acts it is considered a representative of the Byzantine text-type, close to the text seen in Minuscule 4. Aland placed these books from the manuscript in Category V.[6] Category V manuscripts are described as "manuscripts with a purely or predominantly Byzantine text."[6]Template:R/superscript
According to the Claremont Profile Method (a specific analysis of textual data), in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20 it belongs to the textual group Π6, along with Codex Petropolitanus.[7]

History
The manuscript once belonged to Fontainebleau. It was used by scholar Robert Estienne in his Editio Regia, and designated by him as ε'.[3]Template:R/superscript It was examined by biblical scholars Johann Jakob Wettstein, Johann Jakob Griesbach, and Johann M. A. Scholz (though Scholz only examined Matthew, Mark 1-4, and John 7), and in 1885 it was examined by biblical scholar Caspar René Gregory.[3]Template:R/superscript It was also examined and described by scholar Paulin Martin.[10] Wettstein gave the number 6 to it. This number is still in use.
In 27 editions of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, it is cited only twice (1 Cor 11:24; 15:6).[11] The manuscript is currently located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (National Library of France, shelf number Gr. 112) in Paris.[2]Template:R/superscript[12]
