Minuscule 119 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1290 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] It has complex contents with marginalia.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 237 parchment leaves (size 15.5 cm by 16 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 23 lines per page (size of text 12 cm by 8 cm). The capital letters in red, the large initial letters in gold.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 236 - 16:12), (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[3]

It contains prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, numbers of stichoi, and pictures.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]

According to Gregory textually it is close to the codex 120.[3]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual cluster 16 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[5] To this cluster belong manuscripts: 16, 217, 330, 491, 578, 693, 1528, and 1588.[6]

History

The manuscript once belonged to Simon de Colines in 1534.[3] It was examined by Louvois for Ludolph Kuster, Griesbach,[7] and Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1885.[3]

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 85), at Paris.[2]
