Minuscule 47 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 515 (Von Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 15th century. It has complex contents and some marginalia.

Description[]

The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 554 leaves (size 12 cm by 19 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 14-17 lines per page.[2][3] The leaves are often dislocated.[4] According to Scrivener it was written in "a vile hand".[5]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin (also in Latin), and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages.[4]

It contains Prolegomena, Argumentum, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospels, with numbers of στιχοι (only in Mark).[5][4]

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.[6] Aland placed it in Category V.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents mixed text in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 it belongs to the textual family Family Kr.[6]

In John 8:2-3 it reads και καθισας εδιδασκεν αυτους εν τισιν αντιγραφαις οθτως αγουσι δε οι γραμματεις.[4]

In John 8:6 it has textual reading και προσποιουμενος.[4]

History[]

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 15th century.[4] Currently it has been assigned by the INTF to the 15th century.[2][3]

The manuscript was written by a scribe Joannes Serbopoulos (or Zerbopoulos) along with manuscripts minuscule 56 and minuscule 58. It was used in Walton's Polyglotte (as Bodl .1). It was examined by Mill (as Bodl. 6).[5]

It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by J. J. Wettstein. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]

It is currently housed in at the Bodleian Library (Auct. D. 5. 2), at Oxford.[2]
