Minuscule 451 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 178 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] Formerly it was labelled by 79a and 90p. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.

Description[edit]

The codex is written on 161 parchment leaves in minuscule script. Some of leaves were lost. The leaves are measured 19.2 cm by 13.9 cm.[2]

It contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles, with two lacunae (2 Cor 11:15-12:1; Eph 1:9-Heb 13:25).[3] The order of books: Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles. It contains also liturgical books with hagiographies: Synaxarion and Menologion.[3]

The biblical text is written in one column per page, in 30 lines per page.[2] The letters are written above lines.

It contains Prolegomena at the beginning, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), the Euthalian Apparatus, and numbers of στιχοι in subscriptions.[3]

Text[edit]

The Greek text of the codex is mixed in the Pauline epistles, elsewhere the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category III in Pauline epistles and in Category V elsewhere.[4] Textually it is very close to the codices 330, 2400, 2492.[5]

The manuscript was examined by Birch, Scholz, Stornalojo, and C. R. Gregory (1886).[3]

The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[10]

Formerly it was labelled by 79a and 90p.[11] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 451 to it.[1]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Urb. gr. 3) in Rome.[2]
