Minuscule 304 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A215Cμ23 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.[2]
Description[edit]
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Mark on 224 parchment leaves (27.5 cm by 21 cm) with only one lacuna in Mark 14:16-25. The text is written in one column per page, in 31-33 lines per page.[2] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena.[3]
Text[edit]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] According to Hermann von Soden it has Antiocheian commentated text (Antiocheian = Byzantine).[5]
It does not contain the text of the Longer Ending of Mark.[6]
Hermann von Soden lists it as having the "Anonymous Catena" on Matthew (along with 366 and 2482).[5]
History[edit]
The manuscript once belonged to Charles de Montchal, Archbishop of Toulouse (1628–1651) and to Theller.[3] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[7] The manuscript was examined by Wettstein and Scholz.[3] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]
Scrivener dated it to the 13th century.[9] Gregory, Soden, and Aland dated it to the 12th century. Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[2]
It is cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament.
The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 194) at Paris.[2]
