Language
Greek - Ancient (to 1453)
Origin

, 11th century, mid
Physical description
ff. ii + 7 + ii; 235
(height/length)
x 175
(width)
mm
Format:
Non digital + Digital, reformatted digital
Script:
One scribe. The script is very regular and fluent, an upright minuscle of the Perlschrift type with moderate interspersion of majuscle forms. A few typical abbreviations at the end of the line. Chapter title is in capital letters wherein the ypsilon has a horisontal bar at the bottom. Spiritus angular and in form of half an eta. No iota adscriptum. Double accents over men and de. Accents are sometimes put not over the vowel but over the next letter. Nomina sacra mostly without accents. Medeltidshandskrift 54 is possibly a product by the same - unknown - scribe who wrote the Codex Sinaiticus Graecus 364. That codex has a clear connection to the Mangana monastery in Constantinople, founded by Constantine IX Monomachos in 1042, which could in turn, at least tentatively, give us an approximate time and place for the origin also of Medeltidshandskift 54 (for Cod. Sin. Gr. 364 see D. Harlfinger et al., Specimina Sinaitica, Berlin 1983, pp. 23-25 and Taf. 41-44).
Foliation:
Foliation (in upper corner) and pagination (in lower corner) are both modern and made with pencil.The ordering of the leaves has become confused in the binding process: f. 7 should have come before f. 1; between f. 4v and f.6r there is a loss of text probably equivalent to 2 leaves; f. 5 is a separate fragment coming from another part of the same codex. The restored order would accordingly be: 5. 7. 1. 2. 3. 4. 6.
Columns:
1
Lines:
28
Layout:
Written space: 175 x 125 mm. Ruling: Sautel 00C1 / Lake I c1; 28 lines, the script is pendent from ruled lines; chapter title and initial capitals are all in the same ink as the main text. The only decoration consists of a line filler and a couple of very simple tendrils with leaves in connection with the chapter title.
Support:
Parchment.
Condition:
The parchment, originally of good quality, is now discoloured and worn. That f. 6v och 7r used to make up the exterior of this fragment can be seen from the wear, which partially has made the text hard to discern; on f. 6v one can see the wearing marks from string. The upper corners of f. 6 and 7 are torn. The leaves are coarsely joined together with woven adhesive tape, the same tape was utilized for mending a number of rips, especially on f. 4.
Abstract
The text comes from three different chapters of the Collectio systematica:
f. 5r-v contains six anonymous sayings from chapter 5; f. 7r-v and f. 1r: 1-15 are from chapter 13; ff. 1r:16 - f. 4v and f. 6r-v are from chapter 14.
Notes
Marginal entries: F. Iv abstract from A. Deissmann's brief description of the fragment, which he gives in a letter sent to the rector at the University of Lund. The letter, dated 12. Dec. 1920, still accompanies the codex as a loose-leaf. F. IIr owner's signature: Adolf Deissmann Athen 1906, and a dedicatory note written by the same owner. F. 1v (upper outer corner) a monokondylion in black ink saying makario~. F. 5v a prayer formula in upper margin in pale brown ink; in the outer margin a note probably in the same hand, which due to cutting and fading is difficult to decipher. F. 6v (lower margin) in loud violet ink a note which seems to mention the year of 1899.
Ownership:
The former owner, Adolf Deissmann (Geheimer Konsistorialrat, ordentlicher Professor an der Universität Berlin), acquired the parchment leaves in Athens in 1906. According to the seller they originated from a monastery on the Peloponnese. Deissman had it rebound in Germany.
Acquisition:
The book was donated by Deissmann to the University Library of Lund as an expression of his gratitude towards friends and colleagues in Scania for their hospitality (Lunds universitets årsredogörelse, 1920-21, p. 45). A label in the upper corner of the front pastedown gives the present library shelfmark.
