Uncial 055 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 11th century. The codex contains a commentary with incomplete text of the four Gospels, on 303 parchment leaves (26 cm by 19.5 cm).[1]

Description

The commentaries are placed in the Western order (Matthew, John, Luke, Mark). Three first Gospels used commentaries of Chrysostom, Gospel of Mark – Victorin's commentary.[2]

The text is written in one column per page, 37 lines per page.[1]

The manuscript is written in semi-uncial variously listed as an uncial and a minuscule, is reported as "very peculiar in its style and beautifully written". Hermann von Soden did not include it in his catalog. According to some scholars it is a commentary rather, but not a manuscript of New Testament.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, but Aland did not placed it in any Category.[1] It is one of very few uncial manuscripts do not cited in Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece.

History

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[3]

The manuscript was examined by Scholz, Burgon,[4] and Paulin Martin.[5] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1885.[2]

Formerly the manuscript was housed at the Dominus du Fresne.[2] Currently the codex is located at the National Library of France (Gr. 201) in Paris.[1]
