Codex Zacynthius (designated by siglum Ξ or 040 in the Gregory-Aland numbering; A1 in von Soden) is a Greek New Testament codex, dated paleographically to the 6th century. First thought to have been written in the 8th century,〔C. R. Gregory, ("Canon and Text of the New Testament" ) (T & T Clark: Edinburgh 1907), p. 361〕 it is a palimpsest—the original (lower) text was washed off its vellum pages and overwritten in the 12th or 13th century. The upper text of the palimpsest contains weekday Gospel lessons; the lower text contains portions of the Gospel of Luke, deciphered by biblical scholar and palaeographer Tregelles in 1861. The lower text is of most interest to scholars. The manuscript came from Zakynthos, a Greek island, and has survived in a fragmentary condition. It was brought to England in 1821 and transferred to Cambridge University in 1985. It is often cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament. == Description == The lower text of the manuscript contains fragments of the chapters 1:1-11:33 of the Gospel of Luke. The codex comprises 86 thick, coarse parchment leaves and three partial leaves;〔〔 it measures 36 x 29 cm.〔 The text was written in a single column with well-formed uncial script. The letters are large, round and narrow, without spiritus asper, spiritus lenis, or accents. The manuscript was written by two scribes. Abbreviations are rarely used in the codex. The handwriting is very close to that of the Rossano Gospels.〔N. Pocock, (''The Codex Zacynthius'' ), The Academy (London, 19 February 1881), s. 137a.〕 The errors of itacism occur, but not so often as in Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus. It uses grammatical forms typical of the ancient manuscripts (e.g. ειπαν, ηλθαν, ευραν), which are not used in later medieval manuscripts.〔 The codex uses a peculiar system of chapter divisions, which it shares with Codex Vaticanus and Minuscule 579. A more common system divides chapters according to their titles.〔 The capital letters at the beginnings of sections stand out in the margin as in the Codices Alexandrinus and Ephraemi.〔 The text is surrounded by a marginal commentary; it is the only codex that has both text and commentary in uncial script. The commentary is a catena of quotations of nine church fathers: Origen, Eusebius, Titus of Bostra, Basil, Isidore of Pelusium, Cyril of Alexandria, Sever from Antioch, Victor from Antioch, and Chrysostom.〔William Hatch, (''A redating of two important uncial manuscripts of the Gospels - Codex Zacynthius and Codex Cyprius'' ), in: ''Quantulacumque'' studies presented to Kirsopp Lake (()), p. 333.〕 The commentary surrounds the single-column text of Luke on three sides.〔J. H. Greenlee, ''The Catena of Codex Zacynthius'', Biblica 40 (1959), pp. 992-1001.〕 Patristic text is written in small uncial letters. Most of the quotations are those of Ciril of Alexandria (93 ''scholia''); next comes Titus of Bostra (45 ''scholia'').〔J. Reuss, ''Bemerkungen zu den Lukas-Homilien des Titus von Bostra'', Biblica 57 (1976), pp. 538-541.〕〔Lorenzo DiTommaso, Lucian Turcescu, (''The reception and interpretation of the Bible in late antiquity: proceedings of the Montréal colloquium in honour of Charles Kannengiesser'' ), Brill 2008, p. 261.〕 The commentary was written in a different kind of uncial script than the biblical text.〔W. H. P. Hatch, (''A Redating of Two Important Uncial Manuscripts of the Gospels - Codex Zacynthius and Codex Cyprius'' ), in Lake F/S, pp. 335.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Codex Zacynthius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
