Minuscule 850 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Κι20 (von Soden),[1][2] is a 12th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. The manuscript has no complex content.

Description[edit]

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of John (7:25-10:18) on 381 parchment leaves (size 28.3 cm by 20.8 cm), with a catena. The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3][4] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena, the commentary is of Cyril's authorship.[5][6]

Text[edit]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.[7] Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[8]

History[edit]

F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 10th century,[6] C. R. Gregory dated it to the 12th century.[5] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4]

The manuscript once belonged to the Jesuits' Collegium in Paris as a gift from Octavio Bulgarini. Then it belonged to Barberini. Minuscule 849 (17th century) probably was rewritten from this manuscript.[5]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (729e)[6] and Gregory (850e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 504), in Rome.[3][4]
