Description
The codex contains nearly the complete text of the Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles, and the Book of Revelation on 292 parchment leaves (size 22.3 cm by 16.5 cm).[2] It has some lacunae, namely Acts 1:1-20, and Revelation 6:14-8:1, 22:19-21.
The text is written in one column per page, with 23 lines per page.[2]
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.[3]
It contains Prolegomena to Paul, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), subscriptions at the end of each book, and numbers of στιχοι. It has a commentary of Theophylact. The codex has survived in poor condition, and its text is often illegible.[4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type.[5] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[6]
History
The manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[2]
The manuscript was brought by Covel from Sinai to England (along with minuscule 65).[3] Covel marked it as codex 5, but afterwards gave it the name of the Sinai manuscript.[4]
It is currently housed at the British Library, (Harley MS 5778).[2]
It was examined by Mill, and Bloomfield examined the text of Acts and Paul. Scrivener collated the text of Revelation. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.[3]
Formerly it was labelled as 28a, 34p, 8r. Gregory assigned it the number 110 in his Liste.[1]: 52
Former 110
In his numeration, Wettstein gave the siglum 110 to Codex Ravianus (also called Berolinensis), a transcript from the Complutensian Polyglot so slavish that it copies even typographical errors from that exemplar.[7] It also includes some variant readings inserted from Stephanus's edition.[8] It once belonged to Rave, a professor in Uppsala.
In 1908, Gregory removed Codex Ravianus from the list of the Greek New Testament manuscripts.[1]: 200 Codex Ravianus is now no longer listed, as it is only a facsimile of the Complutensis Polyglot. It is housed in the Berlin State Library.
