Minuscule 940 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1364 von Soden),[1][2] is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.

Description

[edit]

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 176 parchment leaves (size 16.0 cm by 11.8 cm).[3] It has lacuna at the end of the Gospel of John.[4] The text is written in one column per page, 29 lines per page.[3][5] The leaves are arranged in sedez.[4]

It contains pictures and liturgical books with hagiographies: Synaxarion and Menologion, at the end of the manuscript.[4]

Text

[edit]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[6] Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual Family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20 as a perfect member. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]

History

[edit]
View on the monastery Dionysiou

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 13th century.[4] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[3][5]

The codex 940 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (32), in Mount Athos.[4] Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (162 (32)) in Athos.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (940e).[4] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to this list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.[8]

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[9] NA28[10]).
