INTRODUCTION (Greek Manuscripts Part2)

HOME | miniscules- byz.var | min.signif.var | lectionaries- new | lect.prev | symbols/abbrev 

The following Greek minuscules, selected after a critical examination of more than one thousand manuscripts, have been cited systematically because they exhibit a significant degree of independence from the so-called Byzantine manuscript tradition. Many of them have not been previously cited in printed editions. They were collated for this edition by the Institut fur neutestamentliche Textforschung at Münster/ Westf.

The following Greek lectionaries, most of them not previously utilized in editions of the Greek New Testament, have been systematically cited in the textual apparatus. Their citation is based upon fresh collations made for this edition at the University of Chicago, or is drawn from the files of the Greek Lectionary project, there.

It should be observed that Greek lectionaries have no readings from Revelation and from certain parts of Acts and the Epistles, and that a number give only the Saturday and Sunday lessons instead of the daily ones. This accounts for the absence of citation of lectionary evidence in certain passages. Furthermore, L 309, L 490, and L1610 are fragmentary.

L12, etc.

an individual lectionary cited by number, following the Gregory-Aland list, when it differs from the majority reading in the Synaxarion passages.

L135m, ext

the individual lectionary in its Menologion, which differs from the majority of the other lectionaries.

L76s, m, etc.

an individual lectionary in which both the Synaxarion and the Menologion passages are in agreement.

L135pt, etc

an individual lectionary which contains a passage two or more times, with readings differing from each other, hence listed as supporting a reading in part.
