Minuscule 383 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 353 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] [3] Formerly it was labelled by 58^a and 224^p.[3]

Description

The codex contains the text of the Acts, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles on 181 parchment leaves (18 cm by 13 cm) with lacunae (Hebrews 13:7-25).[4] The text is written in one column per page, in 24-28 lines per page.[2][5]

Folio 182, bound with the codex, contains the text of lectionary 922.[2]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Western text-type in Acts of the Apostles.[6] In rest of books it represents the Alexandrian text-type.

Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[7]

History

The manuscript was examined by Wettstein, Gaisford, Scholz, and Pott. Codex 58^a of Wettstein is the same as 22^a.[4] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]

The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[8]

Formerly it was labelled by 58^a and 224^p.[3] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 383 to it.[1]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bodleian Library in Oxford (MS. E. D. Clarke 9, fols. 1-181).[2][5]
