Lectionary 178, designated by siglum ℓ 178 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Paleographically it had been assigned to the 9th century.[1] Formerly it was labelled as Lectionary 71a (Scrivener),[2] 80a (Gregory).
The originally codex contained Lessons from the Acts, Catholic, and Pauline epistles lectionary (Apostolarion), but major part of it is lost. It has numerous lacunae. In present-day it contains only one leaf with the text of Hebrews 1:3-12.
The text is written in Greek uncial letters, on 1 parchment leaf (24.7 by 17.7 cm), in two columns per page, 24 lines per page.[1]
The manuscript was brought from the East by Tischendorf. It was examined by C. R. Gregory in 1884.[3]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[4]
Currently the codex is located in the Leipzig University Library (Cod. Gr. 69).[1]
