Minuscule 502 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), 589 (in the Scrivener's numbering), ε 245 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. It was adapted for liturgical use. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th-century.[2] It was adapted for liturgical use.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 235 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 16 cm) with only one lacuna (Matthew 1:1-8:5). The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page.[2]

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. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written at the margin below Ammonian Section numbers).[3][4]

It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, liturgical books with hagiographies (Synaxarion, Menologion), and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[3][4]

Text

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

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family K^x in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It belongs also to the textual cluster 74.[5]

History

It is dated by the INTF to the 12th-century.[2]

The manuscript was written by one Leo. Formerly it belonged to the monastery of St. Maximus. In 1853 it was bought together with Minuscule 503 from Constantine Simonides.[3][4]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (589) and C. R. Gregory (502).[4]

It was examined by Bloomfield, Scrivener, and Gregory (in 1883).[4]

According to Gregory it could be written by the same hand as Minuscule 644.

It is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 19387) in London.[2]

gollark: Imagine how your "cool" hover-based UI will look if:- it completely fails to operate on the second-latest CC:T version- it breaks horribly with multiple players using it- it runs slowly because of the mouse_move throttling and/or the server having to process significantly more events- mousing over a button hides important stuff under it (this tends to happen a lot)

gollark: AAAAA PLEASE NO

gollark: Dragging is fine. But NO hovery stuff.

gollark: Please do not use mouse_move or you will condemn us all to an eternity of suffering.

gollark: And the majority of servers probably don't support it right now.
