Lectionary 322 (Gregory-Aland), designated by siglum ℓ 322 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th-century. The manuscript has survived in complete condition.

Description

The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John and Matthew (Evangelistarium),[1] on 79 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (29.1 cm by 22 cm).[2][3]

The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 24 lines per page.[2][3] It has musical notes.[1]

History

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 13th-century, Gregory dated it to the 11th-century.[1] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 11th-century.[2][3]

It was purchased from Spyridon P. Lambros from Athens, on 26 March 1859 (along with lectionaries 321, 323, and 324).[1][4][5]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (270^e)[4] and Gregory (number 322^e).[1] Gregory saw it in 1883.[1]

The manuscript was mentioned by Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum, 1854-1875,[6] by M. Richard.[7]

Currently the codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 22742) in London.[2][3]

The fragment is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[8] NA28[9]).
