Minuscule 194
Minuscule 194 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A130 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] It has marginalia. DescriptionThe codex contains almost complete text of the four Gospels, with a commentary, on 263 thick parchment leaves (size 30.1 cm by 24.6 cm).[2] The 6th folio was supplied by later hand.[3] The text is written in one column per page, biblical text in 25 lines per page, and commentary text in 46 lines per page.[2] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena (Victor's on St. Mark). Text of Matthew begins in 3:7.[4] Catena is similar to that of 34.[4] The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241 Sections, the last in 16:20) (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[3] It contains subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of στιχοι, and pictures.[3] TextThe Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[6] It lacks the text of Matthew 16:2b–3 (signs of the times). HistoryIt was examined by Birch, Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3] It is currently housed at the Laurentian Library (Plutei. VI. 33), in Florence, Italy.[2] See alsoReferences
