Lectionary 13, designated by siglum ℓ 13 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering). It is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on vellum leaves.[1] Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th-century. Formerly it was known as Colbertinus 1241 or Regius 1982.[2]
The codex contains lessons from the Gospels of John, Matthew, Luke lectionary (Evangelistarium). The text is written in Greek uncial letters, on 283 parchment leaves (37 cm by 25.7 cm), 2 columns per page, 18 lines per page, 11-14 letters per line.[3] The codex is one of the most beautifully written. The first seven pages in gold, the next fifteen in vermillon, the rest in black ink. It contains pictures.[2]
In Matthew 23:35 phrase υιου βαραχιου (son of Barachi'ah) is omitted; this significant omission is supported only by Codex Sinaiticus, 59 (by the first hand), two other Evangelistaria (ℓ 6 and ℓ 185), and Eusebius.[4]
In Luke 15:21 it has additional reading ποιησον με ως ενα των μισθιων σου; the reading is supported by Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Bezae, Monacensis, 33, 700, 1195, 1216, 1230, 1241, 1253, 1344, ℓ 15, ℓ 60, ℓ 80, ℓ 185.[5]
History
Formerly it was held in the Mount Athos.[3] Currently the codex is located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Fonds Coislin, Gr. 31) in Paris.[1]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[6]
It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Wettstein.[7] It was examined by Scholz, and Paulin Martin.[8] Gregory saw it in 1885.[3] Constantin von Tischendorf confused it with Lectionary 17.
