Minuscule 1424

From Textus Receptus

Minuscule 1424 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 30 (von Soden). It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on 337 parchment leaves (28 by 18 cm). Dated paleografically to the 9th century (or 10th century).^[1]

Description

The codex contains the entire New Testament with only one lacunae (Matthew 1:23-2:16). The books follow in this rather strange order: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, Revelation of John, Pauline epistles. Written in one column per page, 29-33 lines per page.^[1] It contains tables of κεφαλαια, Eusebian tables, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections, Eusebian Canons, Euthalian apparatus.^[2]

There are marginal commentaries on the Gospels (Chrystostomos), Acts and Epistles, only the Book of Revelation does not have commentaries. The manuscript also contains The Shepherd of Hermas. The Eusebian Canons presented, added by a different, probably later hand. It contains Euthalian apparatus.^[2]

Text

The Greek text of the codex, is a representative of the Byzantine text-type with allien readings. Streeter remarked some relations between the codex and the various "Caesarean" witnesses, especially in the Gospel of Mark, but concenced it is only a tertiary witness to the type. But there are more of the Alexandrian readings than Caesarean. The manuscript together with M (021), 7, 27, 71, 115, 160, 179, 185, 267, 349, 517, 659, 692, 827, 945, 954, 990, 1010, 1082, 1188, 1194, 1207, 1223, 1391, 1402, 1606, 1675, 2191 and other manuscripts belongs to the Family 1424 (von Soden's I φ group). The whole Family 1424 deserves a more textual study than it received.^[3] Aland placed it in Category V, but Gospel of Mark in Category III.^[1]

History

It was written by a monk named Sabas. Formerly it was held in the monastery Drama in Kosinitza. (formerly Turkey, today Greece).^[2] The codex was taken after the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 from Kosinitza to western Europe.^[4] It was brought by Franklin Gruber to Chicago.^[5] Lake photographed the codex in 1902.^[2]

Currently the codex is located in the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, as a part of the Gruber Collection (Gruber Ms. 152).^[1]

[8] αὕτη γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἵνα τὰς ἐντολάς αὐ-

[9] τοῦ τηρῶμεν· καὶ αἱ ἐντολαὶ αὐτοῦ βαρεῖαι οὐκ εἰσίν,

[10] ὅτι πᾶν τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ νικᾷ τὸν κό-

[11] σμον· καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ νίκη ἡ νικήσασα τὸν κόσμο[ν],

[12] ἡ πίστις ἡμῶν. τίς ἐστιν ὁ νικῶν τὸν κόσμον

[13] εἰ μὴ ὁ πιστεύων ὅτι ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ; Οὗτός ἐστιν

[14] ὁ ἐλθὼν δι' ὕδατος καὶ αἵματος, ᾿Ιησοῦς Χριστός· οὐκ ἐν τῷ

[15] ὕδατι μόνον ἀλλ' ἐν τῷ ὕδατι καὶ ἐν τῷ αἵματι· καὶ

[16] τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστιν τὸ μαρτυροῦν, ὅτι τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἡ ἀ-

[17] λήθεια. ὅτι τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες, τὸ πνεῦμα

[18] καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ τὸ αἷμα, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς εἰς τὸ ἕν εἰσιν.

[19] εἰ τὴν μαρτυρίαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαμβάνομεν, ἡ μαρ-

[20] τυρία τοῦ θεοῦ μείζων ἐστίν, ὅτι αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρ-

[21] τυρία τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι μεμαρτύρηκεν περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.

[22] ὁ πιστεύων εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ ἔχει τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἐ-

[25] αν ἣν μεμαρτύρηκεν ὁ θεὸς περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.

[26] καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μαρτυρία, ὅτι ζωὴν αἰώνιον

[27] ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν ὁ θεός, καὶ αὕτη ἡ ζωὴ ἐν τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ

[28] ἐστιν. ὁ ἔχων τὸν υἱὸν ἔχει τὴν ζωήν· ὁ μὴ ἔχων

[29] τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν ζωὴν οὐκ ἔχει. Ταῦτα

[30] ἔγραψα ὑμῖν τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ

[31] τοῦ θεοῦ ἵνα εἰδῆτε ὅτι ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔχετε.
