Codex Marshall Or. 6 Explained

Codex Marshall Or. 6, is a Bohairic-Greek, uncial manuscript of the New Testament, on a paper. It is dated by the Colophon to the year 1320.[1]

Description

It contains the text of the four Gospels on 235 paper leaves (23.8 by 19.5) with lacunae (several leaves at the end, they were supplied by a later hand). The text is written in 1 column per page, 26-27 lines per page.[1] It contains numerals of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), in Greek, at the left margin, the Ammonian Sections, (not the Eusebian Canons), and pictures. The Euthalian Apparatus was added in 1641.[1]

The manuscript lacks the additions in Christ's agony at Gethsemane (Luke 22:43.44); 23:17; John 5:3.4 (the descent of the angel); Pericope Adulterae (7:53-8:11).[2] [3]

In the catalogue the date of a donation is given as Mart 1498 A.D. The manuscript was examined by Lightfoot and Headlam.[1] Horner used it in his edition of the Bohairic New Testament.[4]

Currently it is housed at the Bodleian Library (Marshall Or. 6) in Oxford.
