	'''Codex 2427''' (in the [[Biblical manuscript#Gregory-Aland\|Gregory-Aland]] numbering) is a miniature manuscript of the [[Gospel of Mark]] written in [[Lower case\|minuscule]] [[Greek language\|Greek]]. The manuscript had been very difficult to date [[Paleography\|paleographically]] and had been assigned to the 13th-18th century, until 2006 when it was proved a forgery following the publication of digital images of the codex, which had been made available online to renew interest in the manuscript.		'''Codex 2427''' (in the [[Biblical manuscript#Gregory-Aland\|Gregory-Aland]] numbering) formerly known as '''Archaic Mark''', is a miniature manuscript of the [[Gospel of Mark]] written in [[Lower case\|minuscule]] [[Greek language\|Greek]]. The manuscript had been very difficult to date [[Paleography\|paleographically]] and had been assigned to the 13th-18th century, until 2006 when it was proved a [[art forgery\|forgery]] following the publication of digital images of the codex, which had been made available online to renew interest in the manuscript.

			The codex is written in a tiny [[Lower case\|minuscule]] hand on parchment leaves, containing 44 leaves (11.5cm by 8.5cm), written in one column per page, 21-25 lines per page. The codex has no sections, canons or headings, but it contains 16 colour illuminations.<sup>[1]</sup> There are no indications on the codex that it was originally part of a tetraevangelium. The codex includes text of [[Mark 16\|Mark 16:9-20]].

			The codex 2427 was found among the possessions of John Askitopoulos, an Athenian collector and dealer of antiquities, after his death in 1917. In 1937 the manuscript was sent to the [[University of Chicago Library]], where it still resides (Ms. 972).

			Illustrations are very similar to those from [[Minuscule 777 (Gregory-Aland)\|minuscule 777]]. Robert S. Nelson suggested that they were copied from 777.

	In early 2006 the [[University of Chicago]] announced that digital images of the manuscript had appeared online in an effort to "foster further research."<sup>[7]</sup> By February Stephen Carlson had announced his findings that the codex was a forgery, and proved his case beyond a doubt at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature.<sup>[6]</sup> Its text has been copied from [[Philipp Buttmann]]'s 1860 GNT edition (based on Cardinal [[Angelo Mai\|Mai's]] edition of [[Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209]]), this is especially obvious since the forger also followed Buttmann in 81 out of 85 places where his edition departed from the Codex Vaticanus text. Furthermore, in three places the copyist of 2427 had accidentally omitted a line (6:2, 8:12, 14:14), and it transpired that in each verse the omitted text corresponds exactly to the lineation of Buttmann's edition. <sup>[8]</sup>		In early 2006 the [[University of Chicago]] announced that digital images of the manuscript had appeared online in an effort to "foster further research."<sup>[7]</sup> By February Stephen Carlson had announced his findings that the codex was a forgery, and proved his case beyond a doubt at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature.<sup>[6]</sup> Its text has been copied from [[Philipp Buttmann]]'s 1860 GNT edition (based on Cardinal [[Angelo Mai\|Mai's]] edition of [[Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209]]), this is especially obvious since the forger also followed Buttmann in 81 out of 85 places where his edition departed from the Codex Vaticanus text.

			Furthermore, microscopic, chemical and codicological testing eventually proved in 2009 that the manuscript had been made in 1874 at the earliest.

	What made the text a forgery was that it was carefully manufactured in the style of a medieval codex, when it was in fact a very recent creation, no older than the late 19th century. What originally made scholars so suspicious was that it was textually the closest known manuscript--in fact, virtually identical--to Codex Vaticanus, but of a much later date. Furthermore, codicies of a single gospel are extremely unusual, further contributing to the suspicion that it was made as a souvenir.

	The Greek text of the codex was a leading representative of the [[Alexandrian text-type]]. It was recognized by Ernest Cadman Colwell (1901-1974) as having an extraordinary degree of correspondence with the [[Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209\|Codex Vaticanus]].
