Minuscule 649 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Θε 408 (von Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on paper. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1305 (?). The manuscript is lacunose.[2] Scrivener labelled it by 725e.[3]

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 296 paper leaves (size 29 cm by 22 cm), with some lacunae supplemented by a later hand. The text is written in two columns per page, 25-48 lines per page.[2]

It contains the commentary, much of it by a later hand.[3][4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[5] Wisse did not examine its text by using his Profile Method.[6]

History

The colophon partially is illegible. Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 1303. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 1305 (?).[7] The name of scribe was George.[4]

Formerly the manuscript was held in Constantinople (Hellenikou Philologikou Sullogou 1). The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Turkish Historical Society (1), at Ankara.[2][7]
