Minuscule 138 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A304 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] The manuscript is lacunose.
Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 380 parchment leaves (size 30 cm by 22.5 cm),[2] with a commentary, and minor lacunae.[3] The text is written in one column per page, 37 lines per page.[2]
The commentary on Mark is of Victor,[4] mixed up with the text, both in slovenly hand.[3]
It contains synaxaria, Menologion, and pictures. The tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) were added by a later hand before each Gospel. At the end of each Gospel were added subscriptions with numbers of verses.[4] Mark 16:9-20 was marked by an obelus as doubtful.
The text of Matthew 1:1-4:11 was supplied by a later hand.[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 the textual family Kx in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 no profile was made.[6]
History
The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782), Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 757), at Rome.[2]
