Minuscule 39 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A140 (Von Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on vellum. Paleographically it had been assigned to the 11th century.[1]

Contents

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 288 parchment leaves (33.5 cm by 26 cm). It contains lists of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections, subscriptions, and στιχοι.[2] It has a commentary, in Mark commentary of Victorinus, from the same original as in codex 34.[2]

It does not contains the textes of Matthew 16:2b-3 and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[3]

In 1 John 5:6 it has textual variant δι' ὕδατος καὶ αἵματος καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου (through water and blood and the Holy Spirit) together with the manuscripts: 61, 326, 1837.[4][a] Bart D. Ehrman identified this reading as Orthodox corrupt reading.[5]

History

The manuscript was written in Constantinople by the Patriarch Sergius II (999-1019), in the beginning of the 11th century.[6] In 1218 it was brought by monk Makarius to the Athos.[2]

It was examined by Scholz, Burgon, Gregory.

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Coislin Gr. 23) at Paris.[1]
