Minuscule 725 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε383 (von Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament written on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century. The manuscript has complex contents.[3][4] Scrivener labelled it as 881^e.[5]

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 210 parchment leaves (size 15.5 cm by 11.5 cm).[3][6]

The text is written in single columns per page, 24-26 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top.[6] There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]

It contains Prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, numbers of στιχοι, Synaxarion, and pictures.[6]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K^x.[7] Aland placed it in Category V.[8]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents K^x in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[7]

In John 8:9 it reads αναγινωσκοντες for ακουσαντες as minuscule 651.[6]

History

Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (881) and Gregory (725). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1891.[6]

The manuscript is now housed at the Royal Library of Belgium (11358) in Brussels.[3][4]
