Minuscule 571 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1294 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the year 12th century.[2] It was labeled by Scrivener as 474.[3] The manuscript is lacunose.
Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 194 parchment leaves (size 22.6 cm by 17 cm) with lacunae (John 7:1-21:25). The writing is in one column per page, 22-24 lines per page.[2] It contains the Eusebian tables at the beginning of the manuscript, the tables of the κεφαλαια are placed before each of the Gospels, the Ammonian sections, the Eusebian Canons, lectionary markings, and pictures of the four Evangelists.[4]
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.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20. In Luke 1 it has mixed Byzantine text.[5]
History
The manuscript was examined and described by Pogodin and Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568-570, 572, 574, 575, and 1567), who made first collation of its text. The manuscript was more thoroughly examined by Kurt Treu.
Currently the manuscript is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 98) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
