Minuscule 273 Explained

Minuscule 273 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 370 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on vellum, but partly on cotton paper. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] The manuscript has complex contents. It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 201 parchment leaves . The text is written in one column per page, in 29-31 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin of the text, and their Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 sections, the last in 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).

It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel (with a Harmony) before each Gospel, Synaxarion, Menologion (later hand), and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel with numbers of Verses.[3] It has also some scholia, extracts from Severianus's commentary, list of the Gospel's parables.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type with a mixture of other text-types. According to Gregory it is a sister of the codex 4.[3] Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Kx. Aland did not place it in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 10. In Luke 1 and Luke 20 it has a mixture of the Byzantine text-families.[6]

In Matthew 21:31 it has textual variant ὁ δεύτερος (the second) against ὁ πρῶτος (the first), ὁ ὕστερος (the last), or ὁ ἔσχατος (the last). This reading is supported by the codex 4.[7] [8]

History

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[9] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[10] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 79) at Paris.[2]
