New manuscripts digitized by the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) have just been added to our searchable collection. These include 8 manuscripts from the National Library of Greece (NLG) in Athens, the site of our recently completed digitization project.
Icons in the headpiece for John’s Gospel in GA 780
- GA 780: 11th century minuscule of the Gospels. This manuscript has particularly interesting and unique headpieces to begin each Gospel, which appear to have been added later. They each have three small icons of various figures ranging from the Gospel authors themselves to Jesus Christ, Peter, Paul, and even John Chrysostom. The feature image above from the beginning of the Gospel of John has (from left to right) John the Evangelist, Jesus Christ, and John the Baptist. This codex also contains a leaf from an uncatalogued manuscript with the text of Phil 2.7–11.
- GA 782: 12th century minuscule of the Gospels.
- GA 783: 14th century minuscule of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 410: 13th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 413: 14th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 414: 14th century lectionary of the Gospels. This manuscript is a palimpsest. The upper-text is GA Lect 414, but the under-text is from various majuscule and minuscule manuscripts.
- GA Lect 419: 16th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- NLG 1910: 15th century lectionary. This manuscript was identified by CSNTM and it has not yet been officially catalogued or assigned a Gregory-Aland number.
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.
