Codex Boreelianus

TheCodex Boreelianus, Codex Boreelianus Rheno-Trajectinus (full name), designated by F^e or 09 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 86 (von Soden), is a 9th (or 10th) century uncial manuscript of the four gospels in Greek. The codex contains 204 parchment leaves (size ), with numerous lacunae. It has the Ammonian section numbers, but the Eusebian Canons are absent. It was written in late uncial script, in two columns per page, with mostly 19 lines per column, in large uncial letters.^[1]^[2] Paleographically is close to Codex Seidelianus I.

Contains

The text of the codex begins with Matt. 9:1. The last ends with John 13:34. It has also numerous lacunae:

Matt. 12:1-44, 13:55-14:9, 15:20-31, 20:18-21:5,

Mark 1:43-2:8, 2:23-3:5, 11:6-26, 14:54-15:5, 15:39-16:19,

John 3:5-14, 4:23-38, 5:18-38, 6:39-63, 7:28-8:10, 10:32-11:3, 12:14-25, 13:34-end.

Luke is even more incomplete. Wettstein's remarks that the codex started at 7:6 and that only the folia with Matthew 8:25 and Mark 11:6-16 are missing.^[3] It means in his time the manuscript was far more complete than at present.

The headings are written in gold and red. The Amomnian sections are written in red. It has a lot of hiatus.

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.
