Minuscule 684 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Θε34 (von Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1228. The manuscript has complex contents.[3][4] Scrivener labelled it by 1146e.[5]

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 300 parchment leaves (size 29 cm by 21.5 cm).[1][3] The text is written in one column per page, 42 lines per page.[3][6] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena, of the authorship of Theophylact.[6]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια, numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin, the τιτλοι (titles) at the top, the Ammonian Sections, without references to the Eusebian Canons, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbers of stichoi.[5][6]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[8]

History

Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]

According to the colophon the manuscript was written by monk Gregorius in 1228. It once belonged to Giulio Giustiniani in Venice.[6] It was examined by Bernard de Montfaucon (Diarium Italicum, p. 433-437).

It once belonged to the private collection of the Earl of Leicester (104) along with Minuscule 683.[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscript by Scrivener (1146) and Gregory (684).[5]

Actually the manuscript is housed at the Bodleian Library (Holkham Gr. 64), Oxford.[3][4]
