Lectionary 1, designated siglumℓ1 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament on vellum. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 10th century.[1] Formerly it was known as Codex Colbertinus 700, then Codex Regius 278.
The codex contains lessons from the Gospels lectionary (Evangelistarium) with some lacunae.[2] The text is written in Greek uncial letters, on 265 parchment leaves (30 cm by 24 cm), 2 columns per page, 10 lines per page,[1] 7–9 letters per line.[2]
Formerly it was variously dated. Scrivener dated to the 8th century,[3]Henri Omont to the 14th century, Gregory to the 10th century. In the present day it is unanimously dated to the 10th century.[4]
