Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 272 parchment leaves (size 16.4 cm by 11.4 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3][4] The leaves are arranged in sedez.[5]

It contains liturgical books with hagiographies: Synaxarion and Menologion.[5]

One leaf catalogued as Minuscule 2161 belonged to the same manuscript as 938.[3][4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[6] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual Family Kr in Luke 1, Luke 10 and Luke 20 as a perfect member.[6]

History

View on the monastery Dionysiou

The manuscript is dated by a colophon to the year 1318.[5][3][4] The name of the scribe was Chariton.[2]

The codex 938 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (30), in Mount Athos.[5] 271 folios of the manuscript are housed at the Dionysiou monastery (159 (30)) in Athos. One leaf is housed at the Russian National Library (Gr. 315) in St. Petersburg[3][4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (938e).[5] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to this list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.[8]

The manuscript was examined and described by Kurt Treu.[9]

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[10] NA28[11]).
