Minuscule 825 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε308 (von Soden),[1][2] is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 337 parchment leaves (size 23.2 cm by 16.7 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3][4]

It contains Argumentum, tables of the κεφαλαια (chapters) before each Gospel, lectionary markings for liturgical use, incipits, αναγνωσεις (lessons), liturgical books: Synaxarion and Menologion, subscriptions at the end each of the Gospels, and pictures.[5][6]

According to Scrivener it is a beautiful codex.[6]

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.[7] Aland placed it in Category V.[8]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kr in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It is a weak member of the cluster 189.[7]

The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[5]

History

C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century,[5] other palaeographers dated it to the 11th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]

The manuscript was brought from Corfu by Joseph Schirus, a monk, in 1729, and presented by him to the library in Grottaferrata. It was examined and described by Antonio Rocci in 1882.[9] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (623)[6] and Gregory (825e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Biblioteca della Badia (A' α. 2), in Grottaferrata.[3][4]
