Minuscule 726 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε384 (von Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament written on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century. The manuscript is lacunose.[3][4] Scrivener labelled it as 882e.[5]
Description
[edit]The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 250 parchment leaves (size 20.5 cm by 15 cm),[3] with lacuna in Matthew 20:17-24:41.[1]
The text is written in single column per page, 23 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top.[6] There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]
It contains pictures and some Armenian notes (later hand).[6]
Text
[edit]The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland did not place it in any Category.[7]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Πb in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[8]
History
[edit]Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]
It was written in the same scriptorium as minuscule 435.[6]
Formerly it belonged to Franciscan in Paris.[6]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (882) and Gregory (726). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1891.[6]
The manuscript is now housed at the Royal Library of Belgium (11375) in Brussels.[3][4]
