Minuscule 728 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), Θε412 (von Soden),[1][2] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament written on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 14th century. The manuscript has complex contents.[3][4] Scrivener labelled it as 746e.[5]
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 231 parchment leaves (size 30.3 cm by 21.5 cm), without any lacunae.[3]
The text is written in two columns per page, 60-68 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]
It contains Prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents), subscriptions at the end of the Gospels, numbers of στιχοι, Synaxarion, lectionary markings at the margin, and pictures. It has a commentary of Theophylact.[6]
Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[7]
It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[8]
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 13th century, Gregory dated it to the 14th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 14th century.[4]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (746) and Gregory (728). It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[9] Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[6]
The manuscript is now housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 181) in Paris.[3][4]
