Codex Cyprius, designated by Ke or 017 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament Manuscripts), ε71 (in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts), or Codex Colbertinus 5149,[1] is a Greek uncial manuscript of the four Gospels, written on parchment.[1] It is one of the few uncial manuscripts with the complete text of the four Gospels,[2][3]: 136 and it is one of the more important late uncial manuscripts.[4]: 337 It was brought from Cyprus (hence the name of the codex) to Paris.[1][3]: 136
The text of the manuscript has been examined by many scholars.[2] It is considered to mainly represent the Byzantine text-type (see Textual character below),[5] but it has numerous peculiar readings.[6] It has been variously dated from the 8th to the 11th centuries,[1]: 100 but using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it is currently dated to the 9th century.[7][8]
