Uncial 054 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 73 (Soden), also known as Codex Barberini, is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 8th century.[1]

Contents

Description

The codex contains a part of the Gospel of John (16:3-19:41), with a commentary on 6 parchment leaves (29 cm by 18.5 cm). It is written in one column per page, 36 lines per page,[1] in about 27 letters in line. The letters are small, parchment is thick, ink is brown. It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical service).[2]

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given in the margin of text, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

It belongs to the same manuscript to which minuscule codex 392 belongs (folios 7-391).

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with some non-Byzantine readings. Aland, with some hesitation, placed it in Category V.[1]

History

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 8th century.[4]

It was found in the 17th century by cardinal Francesco Barberini (hence name of the codex).[3] It was examined by Scholz. The text of the codex was published by Tischendorf in 1846 (Monumenta sacra).[5]

The codex is located now in the Vatican Library (Barberini Gr. 521, fol. 1-6).[1][4]
