Minuscule 139 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A202 (Soden), [1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. It is dated by a colophon to 1173. [2]

Contents

Description

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Luke and Gospel of John on 233 parchment leaves (size 37 cm by 27.6 cm). [2] The text is written in one column per page. [2] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena. [3]

It is believed the date 1173 was added by a later hand, though according to Gregory it is correct date. [4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V. [5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual cluster 291 in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 no profile was made. [6]

History

According to the colophon it was written in 1173, but the colophon was not written by the original scribe, only by a somewhat later hand. [3]

The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782) and Scholz. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886. [4]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 758), at Rome. [2]
