Minuscule 121 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 366 (Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. It is dated by a colophon to the year 1284.[3]
Description
[edit | edit source]The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 241 parchment leaves (size 19.5 cm by 15 cm)[3] with one lacuna in Matthew 5:21-8:24. The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page.[4] The capital letters in colour.[5]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Mark 241 – 16:20), (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[5]
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[5]
Text

It was examined by Griesbach,[9] Scholz, Tischendorf, and Paulin Martin.[10] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1884.[5]
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève (3398), at Paris.[3][11]
