New manuscripts digitized by the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) have just been added to our searchable collection. These include 7 manuscripts from the National Library of Greece (NLG) in Athens, the site of our recently completed digitization project.
Headpiece from the beginning of Johannine lections in GA Lect 1805
- GA 1830: 15th century minuscule of the Apostolos and Paul.
- GA 1831: 14th century minuscule of the Apostolos and Paul.
- GA 2013: 12th century minuscule of Paul with commentary. This manuscript is a consistently cited witness in the NA27. The text is marked off from the commentary by carats. Somes leaves are missing, and the quires were accidentally reshuffled during the modern rebinding process.
- GA Lect 1233: 13th century lectionary of the Gospels and Apostolos.
- GA Lect 1651: 12th century lectionary of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 1804: 14th century lectionary (dated to 1356) of the Gospels.
- GA Lect 1805: 12th century lectionary of the Gospels. In the image above, you can see an example of the ornate headpieces found throughout the manuscript. There is also a rather creative ekthesis letter here. The middle of the epsilon is an arm offering an apple to a bird, which forms the top curve of the letter.
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.
