History
Codex Boreelianus is named after Johannes Boreel (1577-1629), Dutch Ambassador at the Court of James I of England, who brought the codex to the Netherlands from a journey to the East.[4] The connection to Boreel is indicated by Wettstein, who was given a partial collation of the codex in 1730. After Boreel's death, the codex itself was in private hands. Its leaves were disordered, and some of them were lost. It resurfaced in 1823 and was identified as the Boreelianus by the Utrecht professor Jodocus Heringa (1765-1840). In 1841 Tischendorf wanted to see and examine the codex, but it was did not allowed to him.[2] Since 1830, the codex has been located in Utrecht University (Univ. Bibl. Ms. 1).[1]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[1] It is not very important codex, but it is an important witness of the Byzantine text-type. It belongs to the textual family E.
