Codex Sangallensis 18 Explained
Uncial 0130 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 80 (Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated palaeographically to the 9th-century. Formerly it was labelled by Wc.
Description
The codex contains a small part of the Mark 1:31-2:16; Luke 1:20-31.64-79; 2:24-48, on 7 parchment leaves . It is written in two columns per page, 22 lines per page,[1] in large uncial letters. The writing is similar to Codex Sangallensis 48 but bigger. It has diacritic marks and accents.[2]
It is a palimpsest, the upper text has Latin Vulgate.[1] The leaves were washed to make a palimpsest, and the writing erased in parts by a knife.[3]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the mixed text-type, with a strong element of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family I'. Aland placed it in Category III.[1]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixed text in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 the manuscript is defective.[4]
History
It is dated by the INTF to the 9th-century.[5]
The manuscript was examined by Tischendorf.
Four leaves of the codex are housed at the Abbey library of Saint Gall (18, fol. 143-146; 45, fol. 1-2) in St. Gallen, and three leaves in Zürich (Zentralbibliothek, C 57, fol. 5, 74, 93, 135).[1]
