Minuscule 866 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε405 (von Soden),[1][2] is a 16th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on paper. The manuscript has no complex context, and some marginalia.
Description
[edit]The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Matthew (7:25-10:40) on 7 paper leaves (size 22.6 cm by 15 cm), with a catena. It has some lacunae. The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page.[3][4]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin of the text, but without their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for Church reading), and αναγνωσεις (lessons).[5]
