Minuscule 168 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Θε31 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 217 thick parchment leaves (size 34 cm by 22 cm),[2] with Theophylact's commentary,[3] and some lacunae (Luke 24:13-53; John 1:1-14).[4] The beginning of the codex was destroyed by humidity.[4]

The text is written in two columns per page, 40 lines per page,[2] in brown-black ink.[4]

The text is divided according to numbers of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the Script error: No such module "Lang". (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[4]

It contains tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) before each Gospel, the subscriptions at the end of Mark, with numbers of Script error: No such module "Lang"., and numbers of Script error: No such module "Lang". were added by a later hand.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of text-types. Aland did not place it in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixed text in Luke 1, in Luke 10 it has a mixture of the Byzantine text-families. In Luke 20 the manuscript is defective. It has some relationship to cluster 1675 in Luke 1 and to group Λ.[6]

History

The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782) and Scholz (1794–1852). C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 570), at Rome.[2]
