Minuscule 448 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 509 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1478.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 299 parchment leaves (31.2 cm by 21.5 cm). The text is written in one column per page, in 22 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) whose numerals are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.[3]

It contains lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and very beautiful pictures.[3][4] It is clearly but unskilfully written.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the Antiocheian (i.e. Byzantine) commentated text.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. It belongs also to the textual cluster 183. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]

History

According to the colophon it was written in Rome, April 25, 1478 by John Rhosos of Crete for Francis Gonzaga Cardinal of St. Maria Nuova. There is a note that Rhosos also wrote the Vatican Homer in 1477 for Cardinal Gonazaga. Then it belonged to Giovanni Pietro Arrivabene.[4] Nathaniel Noel purchased it for the Harleian Library between 20 January between 1721 and 1722.[7]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[8] It was examined by Scholz (only Mark 5). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]

It is currently housed at the British Library (Harley MS 5790).[2]
