Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 257 parchment leaves (22 cm by 16.3 cm) and is written in two columns per page, 24 lines per column,[1] in very elegant and small uncial letters, with breathings and accents.[2] The letters are similar to those from Codex Mosquensis II.[3]
Codex Campianus has a number of errors due contemporary changes in the pronunciation of Greek, a phenomenon known as iotacism.[4] It is a beautiful small manuscript. Besides the New Testament text, it contains Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, Ammonian Sections, Eusebian Canons, Synaxarion, Menologion, αναγνωσματα (i.e. notes of the Church Lessons), musical notes (in red), some Arabic scrawl on the last leaf, and a note in Slavonic.[2][4]
Text
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with a number of Caesarean readings.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[1] Commonly included in the Family 1424, according to the Wisse's Profile Method it creates the textual group M609 with the codex 609.[6]
In Matthew 1:11 it has addition τον Ιωακιμ, Ιωακιμ δε εγεννεσεν (Ioakim, Ioakim begot) supported by the manuscripts Codex Koridethi, f1, 33, syrh and other manuscripts.[7]
It contains the pericope John 7:53-8:11 in its early stage. In John 8:11 it has interpolation: τουτο δε ειπαν πειραζοντες αυτον ινα εχωσιν κατηγοριαν κατ κατ αυτου. It does not supported by any other manuscript.[8]
History
The manuscript was called Campianus after François de Camps (1643–1723), who gave it to Louis XIV in 1707.[3] It was used by Kuster's (as Paris 2). The text was collated by S. P. Tregelles. It was examined and described by Montfaucon (with picture), Giuseppe Bianchini,[9] Wettstein, Scholz, Tischendorf, Tregelles, and Scrivener.[4]
Synaxarion and Menologion were published by Scholz in the same place as those of Codex Cyprius, and with careleness.[3]
Currently the codex is located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 48) in Paris.[1]
