Lectionary 323 (Gregory-Aland), designated by siglum ℓ 323 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century. The manuscript has survived in complete condition.
Description[edit]
The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium),[1] on 213 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (36.9 cm by 25 cm).[2][3] It contains also the Synaxarion (folios 190-212v), Homilies of John Chrysostom to Genesis (folios 213r-v).[4][1]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in one column per page, 18 lines per page.[2][3] The ink is brown.[5]
The codex contains weekday Gospel lessons.[2] 318, 321 and 323 sometimes agree with each other in departing from the ordinary weekday Church lessons.[5]
History[edit]
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 12th century, and Gregory dated it to the 13th century.[1] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 13th century.[2][3]
It was purchased from Spyridon P. Lambros from Athens, on 26 March 1859 (along with lectionaries 321, 322, and 324).[1][5][4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener (271e)[5] and Caspar René Gregory (number 323e).[1] Gregory saw it in 1883.[1]
The manuscript was mentioned in Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum, 1854-1875,[6] by M. Richard.[7]
The codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 22743) in London.[2][3]
The fragment is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[8] NA28[9]).
