Minuscule 672 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 156 (von Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. The manuscript is a very lacunose.[3][4] Scrivener labelled it by 618e.[5]

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 278 parchment leaves (size 14 cm by 10.7 cm),[3] with numerous lacunae (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 15:29-16; 20 Luke 1:1-3:23). Text of Luke 24:46-53 was supplied by a later hand.[1] The text is written in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page.[3] It was written by several hands.[6]

The tables of the κεφαλαια are placed before every Gospel. The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) with the τιτλοι (titles) at the top. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (partially).[5] It contains a lectionary markings, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures.[6]

The Old Testament quotations are marked on the margin. N ephelkystikon is rare.[7]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[8]

According to the Wisse's Profile Method it represents family Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20; in Luke 1 the manuscript is defective.[9]

History

Scrivener and Gregory dated it to the 11th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[4]

On the last leaf is date of the owner – 1729.[7]

The manuscript was bought in 1870.[5] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener and Gregory. Gregory saw it in 1883.[6] It was examined by Hort and Brandshaw.

Actually the manuscript is housed at the Cambridge University Library (Add. Mss. 720) in Cambridge.[3][4]
