Minuscule 36 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), A20 (von Soden).[1] It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on vellum. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 12th century. It has complex contents and full marginalia.
Description
The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 509 parchment leaves (29.3 cm by 21.3 cm). The text is written in 1 column per page, 19 lines per page.[2][3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian Canon tables, Prolegomena to Mark, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, prolegomena, pictures, and commentaries (in Mark Victorinus).[5]
It contains a questionable scholion to the Longer ending of Mark.[4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[6]
It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[7]
In Luke 16:19 the manuscript has scholion on a margin of uncertain date ευρον δε τινες και του πλουσιου εν τισιν αντιγραφοις τουνομα Νινευης λεγομενον. The same scholion has manuscript 37.[8] Now we have only one Greek manuscript with textual variant ονοματι Ν[ιν]ευης (with the name N[in]eue) in Luke 16:19 - Papyrus 75. This reading has also Sahidic version.[9]
