Minuscule 27 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1023 (Soden).[1] It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on vellum. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 10th-century.[2][3] It has liturgical books and marginalia.
Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 460 leaves (16 cm by 12.1 cm), though from John 18:3 the text is supplied. The text is written in one column per page, 19 lines per page. It is ornamented in gold and silver.[4]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numerals are given at the margin, the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, the last section in 16:20), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[4]:{{{3}}}
It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, pictures. Liturgical books with hagiographies (Synaxarion and Menologion) were added by a later hand.[5]
It was extensively altered by a later hand.[5]:{{{3}}}
