Lectionary 320 (Gregory-Aland), designated by siglum ℓ 320 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 14th century. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.
Description
The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium),[1] on 196 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (21.7 cm by 14.6 cm). Some leaves of the codex at the end were lost.[2][3] It was written by several hands.[4]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page.[2][3] It has not musical notes.[1]
The codex contains weekday Gospel lessons from Easter to Pentecost and Saturday/Sunday Gospel lessons for the other weeks.[2]
On folio 66 there is a note in red ink recording the work of a certain Makarios, monk and priest, also called Zographos.[5] The note states:
- Μακάριος Μοναχὸς ἀμάρτολος ἱερεὺς
- οὗτος τὸ ἐπήκλην ζογράφος διὰ σινεργασίας
- Καὶ μόχθου ἐπ(λ)ιρόθη ἡ βήβλο(ς) αὔτι.
