Minuscule 573 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 447 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the year 13th century.[2] The manuscript has complex contents.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 189 parchment leaves (size 11.5 cm by 7.6 cm). The writing is in one column per page, 29 lines per page.[2][3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to Ak, related to the Antiocheian commentated text (along with 534, 546, 558, 715).[4] Aland placed it in Category V.[5]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[4]

History

The manuscript was written in time of Andronikos II Palaiologos (1272–1332).[3]

It was bought from Athens in 1884 along with the codex 531.[3] It was examined and described by William Charles Braithwaite.

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Selly Oak College (Braithwaite 2) in Birmingham.[2]
