Template:New Testament manuscript infobox
Codex Basilensis A. N. IV. 4, known as Minuscule 2815 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 253 (Soden), formerly labelled as 2ap in all catalogues, but subsequently renumbered by Aland, is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 12th century.[1]
Description
The codex contains a complete text of the Acts of the Apostles, General epistles, and Pauline epistles, 216 parchment leaves (15 by 10 cm). Written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[1] Written on a parchment in an elegant minuscule. It contains short introduction to the books.[2]
The Greek text of the Gospels is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it as Ib1. Aland placed it in Category V.[3][4] In Pauline epistles text is close to the codices 206, 429, 522 and 1891.
In 1 Corinthians 2:14 it reads πνευματος (omit του θεου) along with Minuscule 216, 255, 330, 440, 451, 823, 1827, and syrp.[5]
In Hebrews 12:20 it has additional reading η βολιδι κατατοξευθησεται.[6]
History of the codex
The manuscript belonged to the Preaching Friars, then to Amerbach, a printer of Basle.[2]
This codex was used by Desiderius Erasmus in his first edition of his Novum Testamentum (1516). In result its readings became a basis for the Textus Receptus. Erasmus grounded on this copy, and he calls it exemplar mire castigatum. His binder cut off a considerable part of the margin.[2]
It was examined by Mill, Battier, and Wettstein.[2]
NA27 cited it only in 1 Cor 11,23.[7]
The codex is located now at the Basel University Library (Cod. A.N.IV.4), at Basel.Template:R
