Minuscule 2814 (numbered after Gregory-Aland , An 20 von Soden ) is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament . Previously it was referred to as 1 rK in all catalogs , but later renumbered by Aland as 2814. It was dated to the 12th century by means of paleography .

The code contains the Revelation of John with a commentary by Andrew of Caesarea . The last six verses (22: 16–21) are missing. It was written on parchment in minuscule with a column of 20 lines per page.

The code was in Harburg (Öttingen-Wallersteinsche Bibl., I, 1, 4 (0), 1). The entire library and this manuscript were handed over to the Augsburg University Library.

The Greek text of the Gospels represents the Byzantine text type . Aland placed it in Category V a.

History of manuscript

Desiderius Erasmus used this code mainly as the basis for his first edition of the Novum Testamentum (1516). It is the only manuscript of Revelation that Erasmus used. As a result, their readings became the basis of the Textus Receptus .

Erasmus borrowed the manuscript from Reuchlin , but it was lost for many years afterwards. In 1861 it was rediscovered by F. Delitzsch .
