Minuscule 13 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 368 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on a parchment, dated paleographically to the 13th century.[1]

Contents

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 170 parchment leaves (23.9 x 18.2 cm), with some lacunae (Matt 1:1-2:20; 26:33-52; 27:26-28:9; Mark 1:20-45; John 16:19-17:11; 21:2-25). Written in two columns per page, 28-30 lines per page, in minuscule letters.<ref name = Aland/> It contains lists of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 234), lectionary markings, Synaxarion, Menologion, subscriptions, ρηματα, and στιχοι. It has no the Eusebian Canons.[2]

According to Ferrar it has 1523 errors of itacisms and another erros, but not more than in other manuscripts of that time. Letter ο is frequently written for ω, ου is once written for υ (in Matthew 25:9).[2]

The Adultery pericopa (John 7:53-8:11) follows after Luke 21:38. Matthew 16:2b-3 omitted. Luke 22:43-44 placed after Matthew 26:39.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Caesarean text-type. It belongs to the textual family known as family 13, or Ferrar group. The manuscripts of the Ferrar group were derived from an uncial ancestor once located in southern Italy (Calabria) or Sicily in the 7th century.<ref>Bruce M. Metzger, Bart D. Ehrman, The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration, Oxford University Press, New York, Oxford 2005, p. 87.</ref> Aland placed it in Category III. Collated in 1868 by W. H. Ferrar, and published posthumoustly by T. K. Abbott in the book A Collation of Four Important Manuscripts of the Gospels. Ferrar regarded codices 13, 69, 124, 346 as transcripts of one archetype.[4]

In Matthew 1:16 it has the same textual reading as Codex Koridethi, Curetonian Syriac, and rest of the manuscripts of the Ferrar Family.[5]

History

It is believed the manuscript was written in Calabria or Sicilia.[6]

It was in private hands, and belonged to Peter Teller, like codices 10, 11. It became part of Kuster's collection (Paris 6).[7]

It was examined by Wettstein, Griesbach, and Birch.

The codex is located now at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 50) at Paris.[8]
