Minuscule 407 Explained

Minuscule 407 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 320 (in Soden's numbering),[1] [2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.[3] It contains marginalia.

Description

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Luke 5:30-Gospel of John 9:2 on 87 parchment leaves . The text is written in one column per page, in 21 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, but references to the Eusebian Canons are absent.

It contains tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, a few lectionary markings in some places at the margin, subscriptions at the end of Luke, numbers of stichoi, numbers of Verses, and pictures.[4]

Text

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 Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20. In Luke 1 its text is defective.[6]

The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked with an obelus.[4]
