Minuscule 190 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 411 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 14th century.[2] It has marginalia.
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 439 elegant parchment leaves (size).[2] The text is written in one column per page, in 17 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections – the last section in 16:9), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical reading) and pictures. The text of Mark 16:8-20 is omitted.[3]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Kx. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] According to the Claremont Profile Method it creates textual cluster 190 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[5]
The manuscript is dated by a colophon to the year 1285, but this was added by a later hand.[3] [6]
It was examined by Bandini, Birch, Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
It is currently housed at the Laurentian Library (Plutei. VI. 28), at Florence.[2]
