Uncial 0115 Explained

Uncial 0115 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 57 (Soden);[1] [2] is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 9th or 10th-century. Formerly it was labelled by Wa.

Description

The codex contains 23 verses of the Gospel of Luke (9:35-47; 10:12-22), on two parchment leaves (25 cm by 18 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, 23 lines per page, in uncial letters.[3]

It contains music notes in red; it has accents and breathings, but not always. All the stops are expressed by a single point, whose position makes no difference in its significance. The original codex contained the text of the four Gospels on 190 leaves.[4]

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) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons. It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use).[5]

The uncial letters are firmly written, delta and theta being of the ordinary oblong shape of that period.[5]

Survived two leaves of the codex were included to the Lectionary 88.

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a mixture of text-types. Aland placed it in Category III.[3]

In Luke 10:12-22 the text of the manuscript 15 times differs from the Textus Receptus from the Elzevier edition.[4]

It was not examined according to the Claremont Profile Method.[6]

History

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 9th or 10th-century.[3] [7]

The codex was adapted to the Church use, but it is not a Lectionary. This fragment was brought to light by Scholz. It was at the end of another book. The text was published by Constantin von Tischendorf in Monumenta sacra inedita (1846).[5]

The codex is currently located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 314, ff. 179, 180), in Paris.[3]
