Minuscule 327 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), O36 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] Formerly it was labelled by 37a and 43p.[3]

Description

The codex contains the text of the Acts, Catholic epistles, and Paul on 298 parchment leaves (24 cm by 17.5 cm) with lacunae (Hebrews 13:21-25). The text is written in one column per page, in 20 lines per page.[2] The order of books: Acts, James, Jude, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, Pauline epistles.[4]

It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each sacred book, the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages, and marginal notes.[4] The text of Hebrews 13:21-25 was supplied by a later hand.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland assigned it to the Category V.[5]

History

The manuscript was used by Walton in his Polyglot, and by Mill in his Novum Testamentum (as N. 2). Walton erroneously described it, and after him by Wettstein, as a part of the codex 58, which is a much later manuscript.[3] It was examined by Dobbin.[3] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]

Formerly it was labelled by 37a and 43p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 327 to it.[1]

The manuscript is currently housed at the New College (59) at Oxford.[2]
