Minuscule 38 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 355 (Von Soden).[1] It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on vellum. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.[2] Formerly it was labelled by 38e, 19a, 377p.[3] The manuscript is lacunose. It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains text of the four Gospels, Acts and epistles on 300 parchment leaves, with some lacunae (Matthew 14:15-15:30; 20:14-21:37; Mark 12:3-13:4). The text is written 1 column per page, 30 lines per page, size 17.5 cm by 14 cm.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numerals are given at the margin, with the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. The text of the Gospels is also divided according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, 16:20), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]

The Catholic epistles and Pauline epistles are divided according to the Euthalian Apparatus, but there is no κεφαλαια and τιτλοι. It contains pictures. It has notes on the margin in Greek.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[6]

History

The manuscript was written on the order of Michael VIII Palaiologos (1260-1282), and was presented to the king of France Louis IX in 1269 or 1270.[4] Wettstein rightly judged that it was used by Robert Estienne in his Editio Regia as θ'. The text of the manuscript was collated by Wettstein.[3]

It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[7]

It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Wettstein. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[4]

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Coislin Gr. 200) at Paris.[2]
