Minuscule 937 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1137von Soden),^[1]^[2] is an 11th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. It has marginalia and was prepared for liturgical use. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 256 parchment leaves (size 15.8 cm by 13.5 cm).^[3] The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page.^[3]^[4] The leaves are arranged in sedez. The manuscript is lacunose at the end (John 21:11-25).^[5] In John 14:22-15:5 it was supplied by later hand.^[2]

It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, but it lacks the Eusebian Canon Tables. It uses lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical use.^[2]

Text

Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K^x.^[6] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.^[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual Family K^x in Luke 1, Luke 10 and Luke 20. The manuscript is a fragmentary in Luke 20.^[6]

History

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (937^e).^[5] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to this list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.^[8]
