Description
The codex contains a complete text of the Acts of Apostles, General epistles, and Pauline epistles with a commentary much like Oecumenius, and a catena of various Fathers, on 381 parchment leaves (29.8 cm by 23.3 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 40 lines per page in uncial letters.[1] It contains Prolegomena.[2]
It contains also a Life of St. Longinus on two leaves. F. H. A. Scrivener classified it as a minuscule (16a and 19p).[3]
Text
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with the strong the Alexandrian element in General epistles (about 20%). Aland placed it in Category V.[1] Uncial 0142 was probably the ancestor of the codex 056.
It lacks verse Acts 8:37.[4]
In Acts 20:15 it reads και μειναντες εν Στρογγυλιω along with 0142.[5]
History
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 10th century.[6]
The manuscript formerly belonged to the monastery of St. Athanasius on Athos.[3] It was examined by Montfaucon, Wettstein, Tischendorf, and C. R. Gregory (1885).[2]
The codex is located in Bibliothèque nationale de France, in Paris, as a part of Fonds Coislin (Coislin Gr. 26).[1][6]
