Minuscule 237 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A13 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2]
Description[edit]
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 289 parchment leaves (size 31 cm by 23.5 cm).[2] The biblical text is surrounded by a commentary. A commentary to the Gospel of Mark is an authorship of Victorinus of Pettau. It contains pictures and scholia.[3]
Text[edit]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[5]
The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is placed after John 21:25.[3]
History[edit]
The manuscript was brought from the Athos (monastery Philotheus), by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon († 1681), in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676).[6] The manuscript was collated by C. F. Matthaei.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 85, S. 41) at Moscow.[2]
