Minuscule 441
Minuscule 441 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), O18 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] Its former designations were 68a and 73p. DescriptionThe codex contains the text of the Acts 8:14 to 1 Corinthians 15:38 on 90 parchment leaves (23 cm by 17 cm). It does not contain any of the Catholic epistles. It is written in one column of 38-39 lines per page.[2] It contains the Euthalian Apparatus, subscriptions at the end of each book, and στιχοι. The biblical text is surrounded by a catena of Oecumenius.[3][4] Some of leaves of the codex are in disorder. The order of leaves: 3-18. 1. 2. 19-46. 47-58. 59. 63. 64. 59. 60-62. 73. 74. 65. 66. 69-72. 67. 68. 75-78. 127-142. 79-126. 143-158. 167-182. 159-166.[4] Leaves 183-440 of the same codex formerly belonged to another manuscript. They have now been bound together. These leaves have a duplicate portion (1 Corinthians 13:6-15:38) and some contradictory readings.[3] Now they are classified as Minuscule 442.[2] TextThe Greek text of the codex is mixed. Aland placed it in Category III.[5] HistoryThe manuscript was bought at Venice by Sparwenfeldt in 1678.[4] It was examined by Belsheim.[3] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1891.[4] The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[6] Formerly it was labelled by 68a and 73p.[4] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 441 to it.[1] It is currently housed at the University of Uppsala (Gr. 1, p. 3-182) in Uppsala.[2] See alsoReferences
