Lectionary 268, designated by siglum ℓ 268 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering) is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.[1][2] Scrivener labelled it as 174^e,[3] Gregory by 268^e.[4] The manuscript has complex contents.[1] Formerly it was known as Nanianus 169.

Description

The codex contains lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium).[4] It contains some lessons from the Old Testament. Some apocryphal material about Joseph the spouse Maria's was added by a later hand.[4]

The text is written in Greek large minuscule letters, on 281 parchment leaves (26.5 cm by 20.5 cm), in two columns per page, 20 lines per page.[1]

The manuscript contains weekday Gospel lessons from Easter to Pentecost and Saturday/Sunday Gospel lessons for the other weeks.[1]

Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 12th century.[4] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 12th century.[1][2]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 174^e) and Gregory (number 268^e). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]

The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[5]
