New manuscripts digitized by the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) have just been added to our searchable collection. These include 10 manuscripts from the National Library of Greece (NLG) in Athens, the site of our ongoing digitization project for 2015–16.
- GA 774: 11th century minuscule of the Gospels on a high-quality vellum, with beautiful icons and gold lettering for ekthesis and special notations. The library’s 1892 catalogue describes this manuscript as “the most precious manuscript of the National Library, given by Georgios Ant. Geronta of Kastoria.”
- GA 2525: 13th century minuscule of the Gospels. Interestingly, only the first three verses (i.e. 7:53–8:2) of the periocope adulterae are included in this manuscript.
- GA Lect 425: 9th or 10th century majuscule lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 1530: 11th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 1816: 12th century lectionary of the Gospels. Contains binding strips with text from another manuscript.
- GA Lect 1818: 16th century lectionary of the Gospels and Apostolos.
- GA Lect 1823: 16th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 1825: 16th century lectionary of the Gospels and Apostolos. The first seventy-one leaves of this manuscript are non-NT liturgical materials, written in a different hand than the lectionary which follows.
- GA Lect 1826: 11th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 2015: 16th century lectionary of the Gospels. This manuscript is complete with no missing leaves.
These images have now become part of our growing searchable library, which gives everyone free access to the best available digital images of New Testament manuscripts.
