Minuscule 609 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 161 (von Soden),[1] is a Greek–Arabic diglot minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1043. The manuscript is lacunose.[2]
Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Luke on 317 parchment leaves (size 17.5 cm by 13.6 cm), with lacunae. The leaves 67-73 were written by a later hand. The writing is in two columns per page, 17-18 lines per page.[2] It contains the Ammonian Sections but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
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.[4] Aland did not place it in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it creates the textual group M609 with Codex Campianus.[4] Some of its peculiar readings are as follows (in all of these, the Arabic column agrees with the Byzantine Text unless noted otherwise):
- It lacks ἐντεῦθεν in Luke 4:9, along with E G H 28.
- It lacks καὶ λέγοντα in Luke 4:41, along with 019 and 1241.
- It adds ώστε μη δυναςαι αναγαγείν αυτό to the end of Luke 5:6.
- It reads καὶ ἄλλων in Luke 5:29 instead of καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν, the reading in the Arabic text and N W X 213 262 443 517 954 1071 1424 1675.
- It omits καὶ εἰσὶν πρῶτοι οἳ ἔσονται ἔσχατοι from the end of Luke 13:30.
- It reads ἄριστον in Luke 14:15 instead of ἄρτον, the reading in the Arabic text and p75 א1 Ac B D K* L N P Δ Θ Ψ f1 579 892 1241 2542.
History
The manuscript was written by Euphemius, a clergyman. Formerly it was held in Church of the Holy Sepulchre (No. 6) in Jerusalem.[3] It was slightly examined by Martin (p. 99), Henri Omont, and Kurt Treu. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]
The manuscript currently is housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Suppl. Gr. 911, 315 fol.), at Paris.[2]
Two leaves of the same codex with the text of Luke 8:8-14 were designated by number 2152 on the list Gregory-Aland and it is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 290, 2 fol.) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
