Minuscule 87 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), CL22 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] Formerly it was dated to the 12th century (F. H. A. Scrivener, C. R. Gregory).
Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of John, with a catena, on 231 leaves (size 36.5 cm by 25.7 cm).[2] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena.[3]
Kurt Aland the Greek text of the codex did not place in any Category.[4]
The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is omitted.
History
Formerly the manuscript was held in της μονης του προδρομου της κοιμενης εγγιστα της Αετιου αρχαικη δε τη μονη κησις πετρα in Constantinople, as codices 178 and 774.[5]
The manuscript once belonged to the famous scholar, philosopher and mathematician, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, together with the manuscript 129.[3]
It came from Constantinople; it was housed at Trier.[5] It was examined by Balthasar Cordier, Montfaucon, and Scholz.[3] It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz. Wettstein's 87 is minuscule 250.[5] C. R. Gregory tried to find this manuscript twice in 1884 in Trier and Cusa, but unsuccessfully.[5]
It is currently housed in at the Cusanusstift (Bd. 18), at Bernkastel-Kues.[2]
