Codex Seidelianus I

The Codex Seidelianus I ( Gregory -Aland no Ge or 011 ) is a Greek manuscript of the four Gospels, which is dated to the 9th or 10th century. The codex is named after Andreas Seidel, who owned it in the 17th century. The manuscript is not complete.

Description

The manuscript contains the four Gospels on 252 parchment leaves ( 25.7 x 21.5 cm ) described in 2 columns, 21 lines.

The large uncial letters are made with alcohol and accents, but these are usually not set accurately.

251 leaves are preserved in the British Library ( Harley 5684 ) in London and a leaf in Cambridge ( Trinity College XVII.20 B ).

The Greek text of Codex represents the Byzantine text and the category V is assigned.

After the death of Seidel's Code of 1718 was bought by La Croze, who gave the Hamburg clergyman John Christopher Wolf. A half sheet was probably cut by Wolf and sent to Bentley to view. This sheet is now in Cambridge. The rest of the manuscript came into the Harleianische Library, which went to the British Museum later.
