Minuscule 425 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 457 (in the Soden numbering), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Dated by a colophon to the year 1330.[1] Formerly it was designated by 67a.
Description
The codex contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles on 159 parchment leaves (22.4 cm by 17.4 cm). Written in one column per page, in 29-31 lines per page.[1] It contains Prolegomena, tables of κεφαλαια, subscriptions, Synaxarion, Menologion, and στιχοι.[2] Elegantly but inaccurately written.[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]
History
The manuscript was written by one Leo at Constantinople.[3] It was brought from Constantinople to Vienna by Auger Busbecq together with the codex 421 and many other manuscripts. It was examined by Treschow, Alter, and Birch.[3] Alter used it in his edition of the Greek New Testament (vol. 2, pp. 689-740).
The manuscript is currently housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 221) in Vienna.[1]
