Uncial 047

From Textus Receptus

Uncial 047 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering no. 047, ε 95 von Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels. The codex is dated paleographically to the 8th century. Formerly the codex was designated by Hebrew letter ב (beth). ^[1]

Description

The codex contains on 152 parchment leaves (20,5 cm by 15,2 cm) almost complete text of the four Gospels, with some lacunae (Matthew 2:15-3:12; 28:10-20; Mark 5:40-6:18; 8:35-9:19; John 2:17-42; 14:7-15:1; 18:34-21:25)^[4]. Written partly in double columns and partly in cruciform, 37 or 38 lines per page.^[2] Parchment is thick, ink is brown.<ref name = Gregory/> The letters are small. It contains prolegomena, lists of κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 237), Eusebian Canons, and lectionary equipment on a margin.^[1]

It does not contain the text of Matthew 16:2b-3, text of John 5:3.4 is present, but they were marked by obelus in the left-hand margin, indicating that the passage is doubtfull.^[3] The pericope John 7:53-8:11 is not marked.^[1]

It uses grammar form ειπαν (for 3 person i plural in aoristus) typical for the Koine-Greek, instead of ειπον typical for the Byzantine-Greek.

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, Aland placed it in Category V.^[2] Wisse recognized its text - in Luke 1; 10; 20 - as text of the textual family K^x.^[5] Hermann von Soden did not classified it to this group.

History

The codex was formerly held in the monastery of St. Andrew on Athos Peninsula. Gregory examined it in 1886. It was brought by T. Whittemore to the United States. Since 1942 the codex is located in the Princeton University Library (Library Μed. and Ren. Mss, Garrett 1), in Princeton, New Jersey.^[2]
