Minuscule 892 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1016 ( Soden). It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on 353 parchment leaves (23.5 cm by 11.5 cm). It is dated palaeografically to the 9th century. [1]
The codex contains almost complete text of the four Gospels with some lacunae. The texts of John 10:6-12:18 and 14:23-end were inserted by later hand (on paper, about the 16th century). [2] The text is written in one column per page, in 20 lines per page, in minuscule letters. [1]
It includes the text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) (the first important Greek-only manuscript to have the pericope), Matthew 16:2b–3, Luke 22:43–44, 23:34, and of course Mark 16:9-20. All these texts were questioned by early Alexandrian manuscripts. In this manuscript, interpolation of the Alexandrian text-type in Matthew 27:49. [3]
Words in this codex are written continuously without separation. Hermann von Soden observed that the manuscript preserved the division in pages and lines of its uncial parent. [4] The Ammonian sections and the Eusebian Canons were given in the left-hand margin.
Synaxarion and Menologion were added in the 13th century. John 10:6-12:18; 14:24-21:25 was added by a later hand in the 16th century. [2]
The Greek text of the codex, is a representative of the late Alexandrian text-type, with some the Byzantine readings. It is one of the most important of all minuscule manuscripts. It contains many remarkable readings of an early type. [5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the Alexandrian text-type as a core member. [6]
It is probably the best surviving minuscule witness to the Gospels. Aland placed it in Category II. [7]
Matthew 19:16
In Mark 6:33 it has textual reading ἐκεῖ καὶ προῆλθον αὐτούς along with Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, 0187 (omit εκει), ℓ 49, ℓ 69, ℓ 70, ℓ 299, ℓ 303, ℓ 333, ℓ 1579, (ℓ 950 αυτους), itaur, vg, ( copsa, bo). [9]
In Mark 10:7 phrase και προσκολληθησεται προς την γυναικα αυτου (and be joined to his wife) is omitted, as in codices Codex Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Codex Athous Lavrensis, ℓ 48, syrs, goth. [10]
In Luke 4:17 it has textual variant καὶ ἀνοίξας τὸ βιβλίον (and opened the book) together with the manuscripts A, B, L, W, Ξ, 33, 1195, 1241, ℓ 547, syrs, h, pal, copsa, bo, against variant καὶ ἀναπτύξας τὸ βιβλίον (and unrolled the book) supported by א, Dc, K, Δ, Θ, Π, Ψ, f1, f13, 28, 565, 700, 1009, 1010 and many other manuscripts. [11] [12]
In John 1:28 it has textual variant Βηθαραβα together with the Codex Sinaiticus (second corrector), syrh and several other manuscripts. [13]
In John 6:1 it reads της θαλασσης της Γαλιλαιας εις τα μερη της Τιβεριαδος – along with Codex Bezae, Θ, 1009, 1230, 1253. [14]
The codex was acquired by the British Museum in 1887 from H. L. Dupuis. [15] Now it is located in the British Library (Add. 33277) in London. [1]
It was examined by J. Rendel Harris.
