Description
  • Forms part of the Kenneth Willis Clark Collection of Greek Manuscripts (David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University);Format: Manuscript Codex.;Title supplied by cataloger.;Layout: Written in 1 column of 30 lines; ruled for 30-32 lines (sometimes the scribe adds an extra line or two at the bottom of the leaf) with a fine dry point on the hair side.;Script: An excellent example of a hand from the latter half of the thirteenth century. It is a finely executed mixture of clearly formed uncial and minuscule characters, barely perceptibly slanting to the right--occasionally it has a slightly backward tilt--pendant, done with a reed pen with a medium nib. Red initials in outer edge margins.;Decoration: Kephalia for each Gospel appear in the upper and lower margins in red; Eusebian sections and canon numbers are in red in the fore edge margins. The portrait of St. Matthew is wanting; however, those for Mark, Luke and John are present. Ornamental intitials appear in the margin in gilt and the title of each Gospel has been fitted with a decorative title in red ornamental uncials, and an initial letter. Among the most interesting is that of a man holding an unrolled scroll in his right hand and his body wrapped around by a snake (fol. 42r). Bar tailpiece in red (fol. 147r).;Title cataloged from existing description.;Binding: Fifteenth-century Byzantine binding of dark brown goatskin over wooden boards, with four metal bosses. Lower cover only is preserved on which a manuscript leaf from a musical manuscript serves as a paste down.
