Minuscule 211 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 234 (Soden),[1] is a Greek-Arabic diglot minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.[2] The manuscript is lacunose. It has marginalia.

Description[]

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 280 parchment leaves (size 29.5 cm by 23 cm), in quarto (four leaves in quire), with two lacunae (Luke 1:1-2:32; John 1:1-4:2).[2] It is written in two columns per page, 26 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 236 sections – with the last numbered section in 16:12), with references to the Eusebian Canons (irregularly inserted).[3]

It contains the table of the κεφαλαια (table of contents) to Luke, synaxaria, Menologion, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of ρηματα, and numbers of στιχοι.[3][4] In additional material it has Limits of the Five Patriarchates (like codices 69 and 543).[5]

Text[]

The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of the text-types. Aland did not place it in any Category.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual group Λ in Luke 10 and Luke 20. In Luke 1 the manuscript is defective.[7]

It contains the text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[8]

History[]

It was examined by Birch,[9] Burgon, and Lake. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[3]

It is currently housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Fondo ant. 539), at Venice.[2]
