Minuscule 2814 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Aν20 (in Soden numbering), formerly labelled as 1rK in all catalogues,[1] but subsequently renumbered as a 2814 by Aland, is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, dated palaeographically to the 12th century.[2]

Description

The codex contains only the Book of Revelation with a commentary by Andreas of Caesarea. The last six verses were lost (22:16–21). Its text is written on a parchment in minuscule, in 1 column per page, 20 lines per page.[2]

Its biblical Greek represents the 'Andreas text', which is related to, but not a pure representative of, the Byzantine text type. Aland placed it in Category V.[3]

History of the codex

This codex was chiefly used by Desiderius Erasmus as a basis for his first edition of the Novum Testamentum (1516). It was the only Greek manuscript of the Book of Revelation used by Erasmus.[4] Erasmus translated the missing last six verses from the Vulgate back to Greek for his editions. As a result its readings plus his retranslation became a basis for the Textus Receptus. Erasmus borrowed the manuscript from Reuchlin, but it was lost for many years until rediscovered in 1861 by Franz Delitzsch.[5]

Kurt Aland included the manuscript to the critical apparatus in the 25th edition of Novum Testamentum Graece (1963).[6]

Formerly the codex was located in Harburg (Öttingen-Wallersteinsche Bibliothek), and was transferred together with the whole library to the library of the University of Augsburg (I, 1, 4 (0), 1).[2]
