Minuscule 97 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 260 (von Soden),[1] is a Greek language minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century. The manuscript is lacunose.[2] Formerly it was labelled by 97a and 241p.
Description
[edit]The codex contains a complete text of the Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles on 204 leaves (size 18 cm by 13.5 cm) with only one lacuna (Acts 16:39-17:18). The text is written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[2]
It contains the Euthalian Apparatus, subscriptions at the end of each book, numbers of στιχοι, Synaxarion, Menologion, and αναγνωσεις (lessons) at the margin.[3] It has marginal scholia from Chrysostom and Œcumenius.[4]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[5]
History
[edit]Formerly the manuscript was deposited by one Theodoret in the Catechumens library of the Great Lavra monastery on Mount Athos.[4] It came from Athos to Germany. The text of the manuscript was collated by Langer, librarian at Wolfenbüttel, for Griesbach.[4] C. R. Gregory did not see this manuscript.[3]
Formerly it was labelled by 97a and 241p.[3] In 1908 Gregory gave for it number 97.[1]
It is currently housed at the Herzog August Bibliothek (Codd. Gud. Graec. 104.2), at Wolfenbüttel.[2]
