Minuscule 422 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 186 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] The marginal equipment is full.
Description[edit]
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 256 parchment leaves (23.8 cm by 16.8 cm). It is written in two columns per page, in 28 lines per page.[2] The manuscript was written by an ignorant scribe, who made many errors.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 240 Sections, the last in 16:19), with references to the Eusebian Canons (partially).[4]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, Synaxarion, Menologion, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbers στιχοι.[4] Lectionary markings at the margin were added by a later hand.[3]
Text[edit]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20. In Luke 1 it has a mixture of the Byzantine text-families.[6]
History[edit]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[7] It was examined by Dean Burgon in 1873. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1887.[4]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Bavarian State Library (Gr. 210) in Munich.[2]
