Lectionary 271, designated by siglum ℓ 271 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on paper. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 17th century.[1] [2] Scrivener labelled it as 177e,[3] Gregory by 271e. Formerly it was known as Nanianus 222. The manuscript has survived in a fragmentary condition.[1]
The codex contains some lessons from the Gospel of Matthew (Evangelistarium).[4]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, on 11 paper leaves, in one column per page, 23-24 lines per page.[1] Scrivener described the manuscript as "eleven poor leanes".[3]
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 15th century,[3] Gregory dated it to the 17th century.[4] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 17th century.[1] [2]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 177e) and Gregory (number 271e). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[5]
Currently the codex is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. I.51 (1419)) in Venice.[1] [2]
