Minuscule 898 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε362 (von Soden),[1] is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. It has marginalia. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.
Description[edit]
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 97 parchment leaves (size 19.4 cm by 14.3 cm), with some lacunae.[2] The text is written in one column per page, 28 lines per page.[2][3] It contains also liturgical books with hagiographies: Synaxarion and Menologion.[4]
It has numerous lacunae in the Gospel of Matthew, Luke, and John. Only Gospel of Mark is complete.[4]
The text of the Gospels is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 236 sections, the last section in Mark 16:14), whose numbers are given at the margin. There is no references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]
It contains subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels. Lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use) were added by a later hand.[4]
Text[edit]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[5]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 10, in Luke 1 it has a mixture of Byzantine textual families, in Luke 20 no profile was made because the manuscript is defective. The manuscript has also some lacunae in Luke 1 and Luke 10. It has some textual relationship to Codex Campianus.[6]
History[edit]
According to C. R. Gregory it was written in the 13th century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[3] It was bought by David Laing in 1869. Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Gregory (898e).[4] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to his list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.[7]
It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[8] NA28[9]).
79 leaves of the manuscript is housed at the Edinburgh University Library (Ms. 221 (D Laing 667)), in Edinburgh and 18 leaves Historical Museum of Crete (no shelf number).[2][3]
