Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 257 parchment leaves (22 cm by 16.3 cm) and is written in two columns per page, 24 lines per column,[1] in very elegant and small uncial letters, with breathings and accents.[2] The letters are similar to those from Codex Mosquensis II.[3]
Codex Campianus has a number of errors due contemporary changes in the pronunciation of Greek, a phenomenon known as iotacism.[4] It is a beautiful small manuscript. Besides the New Testament text, it contains Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, Ammonian Sections, Eusebian Canons, Synaxarion, Menologion, αναγνωσματα (i.e. notes of the Church Lessons), musical notes (in red), some Arabic scrawl on the last leaf, and a note in Slavonic.[2][4]
Text
The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Byzantine text-type, with a number of Caesarean readings.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[1] Commonly included in Family 1424, according to the Claremont Profile Method it creates the textual group M/609 along with the codex 609.[6]
In Matthew 1:11 it has the addition τον Ιωακιμ, Ιωακιμ δε εγεννεσεν (Ioakim, Ioakim begot) as also found in manuscripts Codex Koridethi, Σ, f1, 33, 258, 478, 661, 791, 954, 1216, 1230, 1354, 1604, ℓ 54, syrh and other manuscripts.[7]
In John 6:58 it reads το μαννα οι πατερες υμων for οι πατερες;[8]
It contains the μ1 text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11), as do Γ, f1, 892, 1049, 1220, and 2661.[9] In John 8:11 it has the reading: τουτο δε ειπαν πειραζοντες αυτον ινα εχωσιν κατηγοριαν κατ αυτου ("But this they said tempting him, that they might have to accuse him;" a dislocation of verse 6a).[10]
History
The manuscript was called Campianus after François de Camps (1643–1723), who gave it to Louis XIV in 1707.[3] It was used by Kuster (as Paris 2). The text was collated by S. P. Tregelles. It was examined and described by Montfaucon (with a picture), Giuseppe Bianchini,[11] Wettstein, Scholz, Tischendorf, Tregelles, and Scrivener.[4]
Synaxarion and Menologion were published by Scholz in the same place as those of Codex Cyprius, and with carelessness.[3]
Currently the codex is located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 48) in Paris.[1]
