Description edit
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 238 parchment leaves (size 15.8 cm by 11.0 cm).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.[3][4] The leaves are arranged in sedez.[5]
It contains Epistula ad Carpianum at the beginning of the manuscript,[5] but there is no Eusebian Canon tables. It contains lectionary markings at the margin of the text for liturgical use.[2] It contains liturgical books with hagiographies: Synaxarion and Menologion, at the end of the manuscript.[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 represents textual Family Kx in Luke 10 and a mixture of the byzantine families in Luke 1 and Luke 20. It creates a textual pair with minuscule 1693.[6]
History edit
The manuscript was dated by Gregory to the 13th century.[5] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[3][4]
The codex 939 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (31), in Mount Athos.[5] Currently the manuscript is housed at the Dionysiou monastery (163 (31)) in Athos.
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (939e).[5] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to this 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]).
