Description edit

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, with some lacunae at the end, on 227 parchment leaves (size 19 cm by 15 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 23 lines per page.[3][4] The leaves of the codex are arranged in octavo.[5] It lacks the text of John 19:1-21:25.[2] It contains portraits of the Evangelists before each Gospel.[5]

Text edit

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[6] Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]

History edit

The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 12th century.[5] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[3][4] The codex 930 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (22), in Mount Athos.[5] Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (53 (22)) in Athos.[3][4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (930e).[5] It was not on Scrivener's list, but it was added to his list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.[8]

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[9] NA28[10]).
