Uncial 0115


Uncial 0115, ε 57 ; is a Greek uncial manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 9th or 10th-century. Formerly it was labelled by Wa.

Description

The codex contains 23 verses of the Gospel of Luke, on two parchment leaves. The text is written in two columns per page, 23 lines per page, in uncial letters.
It contains music notes in red; it has accents and breathings, but not always. All the stops are expressed by a single point, whose position makes no difference in its significance. The original codex contained the text of the four Gospels on 190 leaves.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια, whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons. It contains lectionary markings at the margin.
The uncial letters are firmly written, delta and theta being of the ordinary oblong shape of that period.
Survived two leaves of the codex were included to the Lectionary 88.

Text

The Greek text of this codex is a mixture of text-types. Aland placed it in Category III.
