Minuscule 442 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), O¹⁸ (in the Soden numbering),^[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12 or 13th century.^[2] Formerly it was assigned by 68^a and 73^p. It shared all these designations with Minuscule 441, with which it now comprises a single codex.

Description[]

The codex contains the text of the Catholic epistles and 1 Corinthians 13:6 to Hebrews 13:25 of the Pauline epistles on 129 parchment leaves (23 cm by 17 cm). It is written in one column of 38-39 lines per page.^[2]

It contains the Euthalian Apparatus, subscriptions at the end of each book, στιχοι, and four prolegomena to the Hebrews. The biblical text is surrounded by a catena of Oecumenius.^[3]^[4]

Leaves 3-182 form another manuscript which is now bound in the same codex. These leaves have a duplicate portion (1 Cor 13:6-15:38) and some contradictory readings.^[3] Now they are classified as Minuscule 441.^[2]

Text[]

The Greek text of the codex is representative of the Alexandrian text-type with some alien readings. Aland placed it in Category II.^[5] It is one of the witnesses of the textual variant ὃς ἐφανερώθη (he was manifested) in Timothy 3:16. This reading is supported by such Alexandrian manuscripts as Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Alexandrinus, Codex Ephraemi, Minuscule 33, Minuscule 225, and , but it is also confirmed by the manuscripts of the Western text-type like Codex Augiensis and Codex Boernerianus.^[6]

In 1 John 5:6 it has the textual variant δι' ὕδατος καὶ πνεύματος καὶ αἵματος (through water and spirit and blood) together with these manuscripts and versions: Codex Porphyrianus, 81, 88, 630, 915, 2492, arm, eth.^[7]^{[n 1]} Bart D. Ehrman identified this reading as Orthodox corruption.^[8]

History[]

The codex was bought at Venice (along with Minuscule 441 and Minuscule 899) by Johan Gabriel Sparwenfeld in 1678.^[4]^[3]

Peter Fabian Aurivill published facsimile of two fragments of the codex (with text of the Acts 10:34-38 and 1 Timothy 3:16).^[9] It was examined by Adolf Michaelis,^[10] and Johannes Belsheim. Caspar René Gregory saw it in 1891.^[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).^[11]

Formerly it was labelled by 68^a and 73^p.^[4] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 442 to it.^[1]

The codex is cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (NA26).^[12]

It is currently housed at the University of Uppsala (Gr. 1, p. 183-440) in Uppsala.^[2]
