Minuscule 193 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 225 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th or 13th century.[2] It has complex contents and full marginalia.
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, written on parchment leaves (size),[2] in one column per page, in 27 lines per page,[2] in black or dark-brown ink, the capital letters in gold.
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 240 Sections – the last numbered section in 16:20), (no references to the Eusebian Canons).
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, and pictures (before Gospel of John, portrait of John the Evangelist with Prochorus).[3] [4] Lectionary markings at the margin and Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: αναγνωσεις (lessons) were added by a later hand.[3]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx. Aland placed it in Category V.[5]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]
The manuscript was examined by Birch, Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
It is currently housed at the Laurentian Library (Plutei. VI. 32), at Florence.[2]
