Minuscule 445 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 603 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on paper. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1506.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 194 paper leaves (20.9 cm by 15 cm). It is written in one column per page, in 24 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, 16:20). It has no references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]

It contains lectionary markings at the margin and incipits.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] It was not examined by Claremont Profile Method.[6]

The text of the Matthew 16:2b–3 and Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) are omitted.[3]

History

According to the colophon the manuscript was written in 1506, by hand Antonii eparchi. It once belonged to the Jesuit's Colleague, in Augen, on the Garonne.[3] It was sold to Edward Harley on 28 July 1725. After his death it was bought for British Museum in 1753.[7]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[8] Scholz examined only Mark 5. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]

It is currently housed at the British Library (Harley 5736) in London.[2]
