Minuscule 221 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α69 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 10th century.[2] Scrivener labelled it by 212a and 250p.[3] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles on 382 parchment leaves (size 18.9 cm by 13.4 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 18-19 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.[4]

It contains prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of the contents) before each biblical book, pictures, subscriptions at the end of each book, and numbers of στιχοι to Paul.[4] It also contains one leaf from Cyril's Homilies, and two others later.[4]

According to Scrivener it is a beautiful copy.[3]

Text

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

It contains the Comma Johanneum, but it was added by a later hand.[6]

History

The manuscript was brought by Busbeck from Constantinople (along with Minuscule 222).[4]

The manuscript was examined by Coxe, Scrivener, and C. R. Gregory (1887).[4]

It is currently housed at the Bodleian Library (Canon. Gr. 110), at Oxford.[2][7]
