Gospel Book (National Library of Greece, Codex 2603)
Codex 2603, the Four Gospels, is a historic codex held by the National Library of Greece. The book is attributed to scribe Matthew of the Hodegon Monastery, the so-called thutorakendutès.[citation needed]
The codex shows two full-page miniatures of the Evangelists Mark and John, three headpieces and decorated initial letters.[1] Mark the Evangelist seats in front of two tall buildings adorned with Hellenistic motifs. He appears to be sharpening a reed. John the Evangelist is dictating the Gospel to his student Prochoros who seats opposite of evangelist John.
It includes Greek inscriptions.
