Minuscule 871 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 102 (von Soden),[1][2] is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition. It has some marginalia.
Description[edit]
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Matthew 28:11-20; John 1:1-36)[1] on 164 parchment leaves (size 13.2 cm by 11.1 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 29 lines per page.[3][4][5] It has decorated head-pieces. According to Scrivener it is a beautiful copy.[6]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.[5][6]
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel (added later hand).[5]
Text[edit]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual group 1519 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[8]
History[edit]
F. H. A. Scrivener and C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 11th century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (687e),[6] Gregory (871e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]
Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Gr. 2117), in Rome.[3][4]
