Uncial 0321 Explained
Uncial 0321 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 2 (Soden),[1] is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 5th-century. The manuscript has survived in very fragmentary condition.
Description
The codex contains a small part of the Gospel of Matthew 14:13-16.19-23; 24:37-25:1.32-45 on 3 parchment leaves of size 20xx. The text is written in two columns per page, 27 lines per page.[2]
The uncial letters are written separately, without breathings (rough breathing, smooth breathing) and accents. The initial letters are written on the margin. There is a punctuation and signs of interrogative. It does not use Iota subscriptum.[3] The errors of itacism occur rarely, it uses N ephelkystikon, the abbreviations are used rarely.[3] The text is divided according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin.[3]
It is a palimpsest, the upper text was written in the 10th century in Georgian language it contains calendar.[2]
The Greek text of this codex is mixed, influenced by the Byzantine text-type. Aland and Barbara Aland placed it in Category III.[4]
History
The manuscript is dated on the palaeographical ground to the 5th-century.[2] Probably it was brought from Sinai by Constantin von Tischendorf.[5] Gregory catalogued it as Uncial 067 on his list. After re-examination made by Pasquale Orsini it is clear that it is different manuscript.[6] In 2010 it was catalogued by the INTF separately as 0321.[2]
The manuscript was examined by Tischendorf, who edited its text in 1846.[7] It was also examined and described by Eduard de Muralt,[8] Kurt Treu,[9] and recently by Pasquale Orsini.[6]
It is currently housed at the Russian National Library (Suppl. Gr. 6 III, fol. 10-12) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
