Minuscule 372 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 600 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 16th century.[2] It is almost without a marginal equipment.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 199 parchment leaves (24.2 cm by 16.7 cm) with one big lacunae (John 3:1-21:25). It is written in one column per page, in 30 lines per page.[2] According to Scrivener it is beautifully written.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin (in Latin).[4]

Text

Hermann von Soden classified its to the Ia,[5] which would make it "Western" or "Caesarean".[6] Kurt Aland the Greek text of the codex did not place in any Category.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents mixed text in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. Wisse stated that its text is very strange.[5]

History

Probably it was written in Italy, by Honoratus (?).[4] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[8] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[4]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 1161) in Rome.[2]
