Minuscule 1 (numbered according to Gregory-Aland ), ε 254 ( Soden ) is a Greek minuscule manuscript from the New Testament . It was previously named 1 eap to distinguish it from the minuscule 1 rK , which previously used the number 1. The manuscript consists of 297 sheets of parchment (18.5 × 11.5 cm). The manuscript was dated to the 12th century using paleography . It was written with one column per page with 38 lines each. It also had beautiful miniatures that were stolen before 1860.

description

The code contains the entire New Testament without the revelation of John . The order of the books is Gospels , Acts , Catholic Epistles, and Pauline Epistles . The letter to the Hebrews is listed as Paul's last book.

The manuscript was written consecutively and without distinction in minuscule . Initials are written in gold. It contains the Ammonian Sections, but the Eusebian Canon is missing . Also included are prolegomena, synaxarium and pictures. The Euthalic Apparatus is contained in the Acts of the Apostles, the Catholic Letters and the Pauline Letters .

The second Mark 16: 9–12, which is dubious from a text-critical point of view, is also included. The Pericope Adulterae is classified according to John 21:25.

The code can be found at the Basel University Library (AN IV, 2).

History of the Code

The manuscript was given to the monastery of the Preaching Brothers by Cardinal Johannes von Ragusa (1380–1443), chairman of the Dominican Order. It was loaned from Johann Reuchlin and used by Desiderius Erasmus for the first edition of his Novum Testamentum (1516). As a result, some readings found their way into the Textus Receptus . However, Erasmus made very little use of the code as its text differs from the manuscripts with which he was familiar. Oecolampadius and Gerbelius, the proofreaders of Erasmus, wanted to have more readings of this code used in the third edition. However, according to Erasmus, the text of the code had been altered by means of Latin manuscripts and therefore only of secondary quality. It has been kept at the University of Basel since 1559 .

Johann Jakob Wettstein was the first to examine him completely. According to his research, the text agrees with most of the ancient codes and quotations of the Church Fathers . In 1751 he changed his high opinion ( Novum Testamentum Græcum ). Wettstein collated the manuscripts again, but made a few mistakes. According to Samuel P. Tregelles , his collation was incorrect in more than 1200 readings. Tregelle and Roth therefore created a new collation. Tregelles noted that the code was similar to minuscule 118 . John William Burgon also noted a resemblance to Codes 131 and 209. This whole group was examined by Kirsopp Lake in 1902 . It is therefore referred to as the "Lake Group" or Family 1 .

Text of the code

The Greek text of the Gospels represents the Caesarean text type . Aland placed him in Category III . The rest of the New Testament books in this codex represent the Byzantine text type . Aland places it in category V a. Together with manuscripts 118 , 131 and 209, it belongs to family 1 .

According to Hort , the text is a successor to the Byzantine text type .

In Matthew 27:16 there is the famous variant of the text "Ιησουν τον Βαραββαν". This variant is contained in Codex Koridethi , minuscule 700 and other members of the text family f 1 .
