Minuscule 63 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 118 (von Soden), formerly known as Ussher 1, is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Paleographically it had been assigned to the 10th century.[1]

Contents

Description

The codex contains almost complete text of the four Gospels on 237 parchment leaves (size 31.8 cm by 24 cm) with only one small lacunae.[1] Written in one column per page, 18-24 lines per page. Initial letters written in red. It contains commentaries written in 48-52 lines per page.[2] It contains Prolegomena, Ammonian Sections, Eusebian Canons, Synaxarion, subscriptions and pictures.[2]

The last leaf, containing John 21:25, is lost.[3] The pericope John 7:53-8:11 is omitted.[2][4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5]

History

The manuscript once belonged to Ussher (as codex 61).[3]

A few extracts were contributed by Henry Dodwell, just like 64, to Bishop Fell's New Testament of 1675.[3] It was examined by Mill and Dobbin.[3]

It is currently housed at the Trinity College (Ms. 31), at Dublin.[1]
