Minuscule 128 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 304 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 370 parchment leaves (size 32.2 cm by 24.4 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 18 lines per page.[2] Parchment is white, ink is brown, the initial letters in red. The handwriting is like that in minuscule 80.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.[3]

It contains prolegomena, Argumentum, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel with a harmony, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbers of στιχοι.[4] There is room for pictures.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K^r.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family K^r in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It creates textual cluster 128.[5]

The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked as a doubtful.[3]

History

The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782), who dated it to the 11th century. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 356), at Rome.[2]
