Lectionary 190, designated by siglum ℓ 190 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. The manuscript is very lacunose.[1] [2] Scrivener labelled it by 262evl.
Only one parchment leaf of the codex has survived. It contains a lesson from Matthew 6:14-21.[1] [2] It was bound with another codex. It contains lessons from the Prophets and Epistles, and catechism at the end (leaves 235-236).[3] [4]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 16 lines per page,[1] [2] in 6-10 letters. The letters are large.[3] [4]
Two other leaves with lessons from Luke 24:25-35 and John 1:35-51, are written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3] [4]
Usually it is dated to the 11th century. Formerly the manuscript was housed in Alexandria. It was presented for the British Museum in 1848.[3] [4]
The manuscript was examined by Bloomfield. It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 262). Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[5]
Currently the codex is located in the British Library (Add MS 17370) in London.[1] [2]
