Editing Minuscule 472 (section)

== History ==

The manuscript was once in Constantinople, but brought from the East to England by [[Joseph Dacre Carlyle|Carlyle]] (1759-1804), professor of Arabic, together with the manuscripts [[Minuscule 470|470]], [[Minuscule 471|471]], [[Minuscule 473|473]], [[Minuscule 474|474]], [[Minuscule 475|475]], [[Minuscule 488|488]].<sup>[2]</sup>

The manuscript was examined by J. Farrer in 1804, Burney, Scrivener, and Gregory. [[Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener|Scrivener]] collated and published its text in 1852.<sup>[3]</sup> The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener. Burney noticed: "Mendis erratisque ita scatet, ut scriptorum imperitiae et oscitantiae luculentissimum fiat argumentum".<sup>[5]</sup> This opinion was supprted by Scrivener: I certainly never met with a copy of the Gospels written with such irreverent and scandalous negligence, but this is only one instance out of a thousand of the danger of ludging hastily from first appearances.<sup>[5]</sup>

It is currently housed at the [[Lambeth Palace]] (1177) in [[London]].<sup>[1]</sup>
