Minuscule 1582 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts), ε183 (in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the four Gospels, written on parchment.[2] It is dated by a colophon to 948.[3] The manuscript was written by a monk named Ephraim,[3][4] of which there are at least four other manuscripts known to have been written by him, including another New Testament manuscript, minuscule 1739.[5]: 30–39 It is considered to be part of a group of manuscripts known as Family 1 (ƒ1) as a leading member,[3] with a very similar text to minuscule 1.[4]: 157
According to biblical scholar Bruce Metzger, it contains "an ancient and valuable text of the Gospels", and its text and marginal notes are closely related to the Greek text used by the early church father Origen.[3][4]
The manuscript contains several colophons, and had several pages replaced in antiquity. Four full-page Evangelist portraits are probably later additions to the codex; there are also some decorative illuminations. Though written in the 10th century, the manuscript and the special text it contained only came to scholarly notice in the early 20th century. The manuscript is now in the Vatopedi Monastery on Mount Athos, in Greece.
