Minuscule 672 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 156 ( von Soden), [1] [2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. The manuscript is a very lacunose. [3] [4] Scrivener labelled it by 618e. [5]
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 278 parchment leaves (size 14 cm by 10.7 cm), [3] with numerous lacunae (Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 15:29-16; 20 Luke 1:1-3:23). Text of Luke 24:46-53 was supplied by a later hand. [1] The text is written in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page. [3] It was written by several hands. [6]
The tables of the κεφαλαια are placed before every Gospel. The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) with the τιτλοι (titles) at the top. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (partially). [5] It contains a lectionary markings, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures. [6]
The Old Testament quotations are marked on the margin. N ephelkystikon is rare. [7]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V. [8]
According to the Wisse's Profile Method it represents family Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20; in Luke 1 the manuscript is defective. [9]
Scrivener and Gregory dated it to the 11th century. [6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th century. [4]
On the last leaf is date of the owner – 1729. [7]
The manuscript was bought in 1870. [5] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener and Gregory. Gregory saw it in 1883. [6] It was examined by Hort and Brandshaw.
Actually the manuscript is housed at the Cambridge University Library (MS Add.720) in Cambridge. [3] [4]
