Minuscule 1216 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε1043 (von Soden),[1] is an 11th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. The manuscript has survived in complete condition.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with a commentary on 282 parchment leaves (size 18.5 cm by 14 cm).[2] Some non-biblical material in Latin was added at the end of the codex in 1377.[3]

The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.[2][4]

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]

It contains Epistula ad Carpianum at the beginning, tables of contents (κεφαλαια) before each Gospel, lectionary markings in the margin for liturgical use, pictures, and liturgical books with hagiographies (Synaxarion, Menologion).[3][5]

Text

Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Iβb (Caesarean group).[6] Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family 1216 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20, as a core member. The family is related to group 16.[6]

It lacks the text of Matthew 16:2b–3 (Signs of the times).[8]

In Matthew 1:11 it has the additional reading τον Ιωακιμ, Ιωακιμ δε εγεννησεν (Joakim, Joakim begot) — M U Θ Rossano Gospels f1 33 258 478 661 954 1230 1354 1604 Lectionary 54 syrh geo.[9]

In John 4:51 it reads υιος (son) for παις (servant), the reading of the codex is supported by Codex Bezae, Cyprius, Petropolitanus Purpureus, Petropolitanus, Nanianus, 0141, 33, 194, 196, 743, 817, 892, 1192, 1241.[10]

History

C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 10th-century.[3] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th-century.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Gregory (1216e). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3] In 1908 Gregory gave it the siglum 1216.[1]

Currently the manuscript is housed at Saint Catherine's Monastery (Gr. 179), in the Sinai Peninsula.[2][4]
