Minuscule 723 Explained

Minuscule 723 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Θε53 (von Soden),[1] [2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on paper. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 15th century.[3] [4] Scrivener labelled it as 828e.[5]

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 397 paper leaves (size).[3] [6]

The text is written in one column per page, with 38 lines per page.[3]

It contains Prolegomena, Argumentum, tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) with the harmony, subscriptions, numbers of Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: στιχοι, and the numbers of verses in Luke, as well as a commentary of Theophylact.[6]

Text

Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any category.[7] It was not examined using the Claremont Profile Method,[8] and it lacks the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[6]

History

Gregory dated the manuscript to the 15th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 15th century.[4]

The manuscript once belonged to Seb. Tengnagel.[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (828) and Gregory (723). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1887.[6]

At present the manuscript is housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 122) in Vienna.[3] [4]
