The Greek liturgical rubrics of Sin. ar. 151 and their paleographic relevance
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The paleographical analysis of the Greek liturgical notes in Sin. ar. 151, closely related the so called ‘Hagiopolitan minuscule’, indicates a dating to the second half of the 9th century, just a few decades after the translation of the Pauline Epistles in its first codicological unit, completed by Bišr ibn al-Sirrī in Damascus in September 867. This finding provides further support for the view that the colophon refers not only to the translation but also to the copy of the codicological unit itself. More importantly, since the Greek notes can be localized and dated with a high degree of plausibility, they contribute to the broader contextualization of the 9th-century Greek minuscule script in the Sinaitic-Palestinian region.
