Minuscule 574 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1295 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] The manuscript is lacunose.
Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 215 parchment leaves (size 19 cm by 14 cm) with lacunae (John 10:1-11:38; 11:39-57; 12:25-13:1; 15:26-16:15). The writing is in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[2]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel and portraits of the four Evangelists.[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[4] Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 10 (cluster with codex 281), in Luke 20 it creates cluster with the code 585, in Luke 1 it has mixed text.[4]
History
The manuscript came from Karahissar. Titoff, Russian envoy in Turkey, purchased this manuscript and presented it to the Imperial Library in Petersburg.[3]
The manuscripts was examined, described, and collated by Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568-572, 575, and 1567). The manuscript was also examined by Kurt Treu.
Currently the manuscript is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 105) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
