Codex Tischendorfianus II – designated by Uncial 081 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) α 1023 (Soden),[1] – is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 6th century.

Description

The codex contains a small part of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians 1:20-2:12 on 2 parchment leaves (28 centimetres (11 in) by 23 centimetres (9.1 in)). The text is written in two columns per page, 18 lines per page,[2] in a large uncial letters.[3] It is elegantly written, without breathings and accents.[4] It uses diaeresis (Ϊ and Ϋ).[3]

This manuscript was a part of the same codex to which Uncial 0285 belonged.

The Greek text of this codex was influenced by the Alexandrian text-type with some alien readings. Aland placed it in Category II.[2]

In 2 Corinthians 2:2 it contains reading και τις εστιν (as א2 D F G Ψ) for και τις (as א* A B C 81).[5]

History

Biblical scholar Constantin von Tischendorf brought this codex from the East to Petersburg in 1859.[3] Tischendorf briefly described it in Notitia editionis codicis Bibliorum Sinaitici (Leipzig, 1860).[6] It was examined by Eduard de Muralt,[7] by Kurt Treu and by Pasquale Orsini.

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 6th century.[2][8]

The codex is now located at the Russian National Library (Gr. 9) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
