Codex Nanianus, designated by siglum U or 030 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 90 (von Soden),[1] is a Greek uncial manuscripts of the New Testament on parchment, dated palaeographically to the 9th century.[2] The manuscript has complex contents, with full marginalia (see picture). The codex is named after its last owner. It is also known as Codex Venetus Marcianus.

The text of the codex usually follows the majority text, but with departures, some of them represent Alexandrian tradition. The manuscript is rarely cited in the present critical editions of the Greek New Testament.

Contents

Description

The codex contains 291 parchment leaves (22.5 cm by 16.7 cm), with a complete text of the four Gospels. The leaves are arranged in quarto (four leaves in quire). The text is written in two columns per page, and 21 lines per column,[2] in brown ink. According to Scrivener the manuscript is carefully and luxury written.[3] The ornaments are in gold and colours.[4]

The initial letters in gold and decorated. The letters are high, and round. They have breathings and accents.[5]

It is an ornamented codex, with full marginalia, as well illuminations such as pictures and golden ornaments. It is written in well rounded uncials, Letters are in general an imitation of those used before the introduction of compressed uncials.[5] The letters are compressed only at the end of line. It is shown in Tregelles' facsimile, the oblong omicrons creep at the end of lines 2 and 4.[3] Samuel Prideaux Tregelles found that the "letters are in general an imitation of those used before the introduction of compressed uncials; but they do not belong to the age when full and round writing was customary or natural, so that the stiffness and want of ease is manifest".[4]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons. Number of sections in Gospel of Mark is 233 (usual is 235), the last section in 16:8.[5]

It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum and Eusebian tables at the beginning of the manuscript, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, golden ornaments, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and pictures.[3] Before Gospel of Mark it has picture with the baptism of Jesus; before Gospel of John it has picture with the rays from the clouds, John stands, and Prochorus writes.[5]

Text of the codex

Text type

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. The non-Byzantine readings are confirmed by Codex Monacensis and minuscule 1071, though there is no real reason to think they are related.[6]

The manuscript stands in some relationship to the Codex Basilensis and other textual members of the textual family Family E, but Nanianus does not belong to this family.

Hermann von Soden classified its text to the his textual group Io which refers to nine manuscripts in Luke. They do not form a group. According to Soden textual group Io, is a result of recension Pamphilus from Caeasarea (ca. 300 AD).[7] Aland placed it in Category V,[2] though it is not pure the Byzantine text, with a number non-Byzantine readings.

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 10, in Luke 1 and Luke 20 it has mixed Byzantine text. It is close to minuscules 974 and 1006 in Luke 1 and Luke 10.[7]

The manuscript contains the spurious texts of the Signs of the times (Matthew 16:2b-3), Christ's agony at Gethsemane (Luke 22:43-44), John 5:3.4, and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) without any mark.[8] It contains the longer ending of Mark (16:9-20), but there is not the Ammonian Sections and Eusebian Canons at the margin.[5] In text of Pericope Adulterae it has several peculiar readings (see section below), some of them has textual affinities with Codex Tischendorfianus III.

History

Andreas Birch dated the manuscript to the 10 or 11th century.[46] Scholz dated it to the 10th century. Scrivener writes that it dates "scarcely before the tenth century, although the letters are in general an imitation of those used before the introduction of compressed uncials". The present palaeographers dated the manuscript to the 9th century.[2] Tregelles[47] and Gregory dated it to the 9th or 10th century.[5]

The codex is named after its last owner, Giovanni Nanni (1432–1502).[3] The codex was described by Ferdinand Mingarelli.[48]

The first collator of the codex was Friedrich Münter (1761–1830), who sent some extracts from the text of the codex to Andreas Birch.[47] Birch used these extracts in his edition of the text of the four Gospels in Greek.[49] Then Birch examined the manuscript himself and gave its description in 1801:

In Bibliotheca Equitis Nanii codex asservatur charactere unciali exaratus Seculo X vel XI, complectens Qvattuor Evangelia cum Eusebii Canonibus. De hoc plura vide in Catalogo Codd. graecorum, qvi apud Nanios asservantur, studio et opera Mingarelli publicatam. Excerpta hujus codicis in adnotationibus hinc inde obvia, mecum communicavit Vir. Cl. Münter, cui etiam debeo notitiam duorum codicum qvi seqvuntur.[46]

It was slightly examined by Scholz.[5] Thomas Hartwell Horne gave this description of the codex:

The Codex Nanianus I., in the library of St. Mark, at Venice, contains the four Gospels with the Eusebian canons. It is nearly entire, and for the most part agrees with the Constantinopolitan recension. Dr. Birch, by whom it was first collated, refers it to the tenth of eleventh century; Dr. Scholz, to the tenth century.[50]

The text of the manuscript was collated by Tischendorf in 1843 and by Tregelles in 1846, thoroughly and independently. They compared their work at Leipzig for the purpose of mutual correction.[51] Tischendorf cited often the manuscript in his Editio Octava Critica Maior.[52] Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[5]

William Hatch published one page of the codex as photographic facsimile in 1939.[53]

Bruce M. Metzger did not describe the manuscript in his The Text of the New Testament…[54] or in Manuscripts of the Greek Bible…,[55] and it one of the very few uncial manuscripts with sigla (01-045) did not described by Metzger. It means according to him it has low textual importance. The manuscript is rarely cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament NA27/UBS4. It is not mentioned in Introduction to the 26th edition of Novum Testamentum Graece of Nestle-Aland.[56] It is often cited in The Gospel According to John in the Byzantine Tradition (2007).

The codex currently is located, in Venice, the Biblioteca Marciana, 1397 (1, 8).[2]
