Minuscule 828 (in the

minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. The manuscript has survived in a complete condition. It contains marginalia. Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography
), the manuscript has been assigned to the 12th century.

Description

The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book), containing the text of the four Gospels on 176 parchment leaves (sized 26.5 cm by 19.5 cm).[3] The text is written in two columns per page, 27 lines per page.[3][4]

The text is divided according to the chapters (known as κεφαλαια / kephalai), and according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (234 sections in Mark, the last numbered section in 16:9). The numerals of the κεφαλαια are given in the left margin, and their titles (known as τιτλοι / titloi) at the top of the pages. The Ammonian Sections are given with a references to the Eusebian Canons (written under Ammonian Sections).[5]

It contains the Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, tables of contents (also known as κεφαλαια) before each Gospel, lectionary markings,

Synaxarion (liturgical book with hagiographies), subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels, numbers of remata, numbers of stichoi, and pictures.[5][6]

According to biblical scholar Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener, the Eusebian Canon tables are written beautifully.[6]

Text

The Greek text of the codex has been considered as a representative of the

Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Iιc.[9] According to textual critics Kurt and Barbara Aland, it supports the Byzantine text 148 times against the original, the original 27 times against the Byzantine, and agrees 77 times with both texts; it has 64 independent or distinctive readings. Kurt Aland placed it in Category III of his New Testament manuscript classification system.[8] Category III manuscripts are described as having "a small but not a negligible proportion of early readings, with a considerable encroachment of [Byzantine] readings, and significant readings from other sources as yet unidentified."[8]
: 335 

According to the Claremont Profile Method, it represents textual family ƒ13 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It is fragmentary in Luke 10.[9]

In Matthew 9:35 it has the additional reading ἐν τῲ λαῷ καὶ πολλοὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ "among the people, and many followed after Him".

It lacks the text of Matthew 16:2b–3, and the text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[5]

History

Gregory dated the manuscript to the 12th century,[5] whereas other palaeographers dated it to the 11th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4] The manuscript was written in Calabria,[5] possibly in Rhegium.[6]

The manuscript was examined and described by Antonio Rocci in 1882,[10] and later by Kirsopp Lake. It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (626)[6] and Gregory (828e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca della Badia (A' α. 5), in Grottaferrata.[3][4]
