Minuscule 782 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε466 (von Soden),[1] [2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament written on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century. The manuscript has complex contents.[3] [4]
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 277 parchment leaves (size).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 22 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 another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, last in 16:8), without references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (later hand), liturgical books (Synaxarion and Menologion).[5]
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.[6]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual cluster 1001 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[7]
In John 8:8 it has reading ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν ἕνος ἑκάστου αὐτῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας (wrote on the ground the sins of every one of them). The reading is supported by the manuscripts: Codex Nanianus, 73, 331, 364, 658, 700, 1592, some Vetus Latina, and Armenian manuscripts.[5] [8]
