Minuscule 609 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 161 (von Soden),[1] is a GreekArabic diglot minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1043. The manuscript is lacunose.[2]

Description

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Luke on 317 parchment leaves (size 17.5 cm by 13.6 cm), with lacunae. The leaves 67-73 were written by a later hand. The writing is in two columns per page, 17-18 lines per page.[2] It contains the Ammonian Sections but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[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 did not place it in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it creates the textual group M609 with Codex Campianus.[4] Some of its peculiar readings are as follows (in all of these, the Arabic column agrees with the Byzantine Text unless noted otherwise):

History

The manuscript was written by Euphemius, a clergyman. Formerly it was held in Church of the Holy Sepulchre (No. 6) in Jerusalem.[3] It was slightly examined by Martin (p. 99), Henri Omont, and Kurt Treu. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Suppl. Gr. 911, 315 fol.), at Paris.[2]

Two leaves of the same codex with the text of Luke 8:8-14 were designated by number 2152 on the list Gregory-Aland and it is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 290, 2 fol.) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
