List of New Testament minuscules (101–200)
This entry lists New Testament minuscules with assigned numbers ranging from 101 to 200. Minuscules are a specific style of Greek script used in handwritten copies of the New Testament. They are characterized by their small, rounded letters and cursive-like connection between characters, which allowed for faster writing compared to earlier majuscule scripts (also known as uncials).
Each minuscule is assigned a unique number by scholars to aid in identifying and cataloging the manuscripts. This numbering system facilitates textual criticism, which involves comparing different manuscripts to reconstruct the most accurate original text.
The minuscules in this list (101-200) represent a subset of the thousands of known minuscule manuscripts. Their significance varies depending on their age, textual quality, and the portions of the New Testament they contain. Some may be fragmentary, preserving only a small section of a particular book, while others may contain nearly the entire New Testament.
Researchers studying these manuscripts examine various features, including the script style, marginal notes (scholia), and any unique readings (variants) that differ from other manuscripts. This analysis contributes to our understanding of the transmission of the New Testament text over time.
Detailed information about each individual manuscript, including its location, date, content, and textual characteristics, can be found in specialized catalogues and databases dedicated to New Testament manuscripts. These resources are essential tools for textual critics and biblical scholars.
