Uncial 053 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A4 (Soden), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 9th century.

Description

The codex contains a part of the Gospel of Luke (1:1-2:40), with a commentary on 14 parchment leaves (27.5 cm by 23 cm). It is written in three columns per page, 42 lines per page.[1] Parchment is thick, ink is brown, it has breathings and accents.[2]

The text of the commentary is written in minuscule hand.[2]

It is one of the very few codices written in three columns per page (other codices: Codex Vaticanus, Codex Vaticanus 2061, 460).

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it with some hesitation in Category V.[1] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1.[3]

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 9th century.[4]

The codex now is located in Munich in the Bavarian State Library (Gr. 208, fol. 235-248).[1]
