Minuscule 363 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 455 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 14th century.[2] It was adapted for liturgical use.

Description[edit]

The codex contains the text of the New Testament except Book of Revelation on 306 parchment leaves (21 cm by 14.3 cm) with a catena. It is written in one column per page, in 32 lines per page.[2]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each book (with a harmony), lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), αναγνωσεις (lessons), subscriptions at the end of each book, numbers of στιχοι, and Euthalian Apparatus (in the Pauline and Catholic epistles).[3]

The order of books: Gospels, Acts, Pauline epistles, Catholic epistles.[3]

Text[edit]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden assigned it to the textual family Kr.[4] Aland did not place it to any of Categories.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kr in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It also creates the textual pair with minuscule 290.[4]

The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[3]

History[edit]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[6] It was examined by Bandini, Scholz, Burgon, and Gregory (1886).[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Laurentiana (Plutei VI. 13) in Florence.[2]
