Minuscule 296 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 600 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 16th century.[2]

Description

The codex contains the entire text of the New Testament on 560 parchment leaves (12.4 cm by 8.8 cm) in two volumes (257 + 303 leaves). The text is written in one column per page, in 20 lines per page.[2][3]

The Greek text of the codex Kurt Aland did not place in any Category.[4] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[5]

History

The manuscript was written by calligrapher Angelus Vergecius, from whose skill arose the expression "he writes like an angel".[6] Probably it was rewritten from printed text of the Greek New Testament.[2] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[7] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1885.[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 123.124) at Paris.[2]
