Minuscule 274 Explained

Minuscule 274 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1024 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 10th century.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 232 parchment leaves with some lacunae.[2] The texts of Mark 1:1-17; 6:21-54; John 1:1-20; 3:18-4:1; 7:23-42; 9:10-27; 18:12-29 were supplied by a later hand on a paper. The text is written in one column per page, in 26 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 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 239 sections, the last in 16:17), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.

It contains lectionary markings at the margin, incipits, music notes, Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures.[3]

Text

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 did not place it in any Category.[4]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]

The passage is excluded.[3] The manuscript has two endings to the Gospel of Mark (as in codices Ψ 099 0112 579 Lectionary 1602).[6]

History

The manuscript once belonged to Maximus Panagiotes.[3] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7] Dean Burgon regarded it as a specimen between uncial and cursive writing. It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]

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