**Minuscule 441** (in the [Gregory-Aland](/source/Biblical_manuscript#Gregory–Aland) numbering), O18 (in the [Soden](/source/Biblical_manuscript#Von_Soden) numbering),[1] is a [Greek](/source/Greek_language) [minuscule](/source/Lower_case) [manuscript](/source/Manuscript) of the [New Testament](/source/New_Testament), on parchment. [Palaeographically](/source/Palaeography) it has been assigned to the 13th century.[2] Its former designations were 68a and 73p.

## Description

The codex contains the text of the [Acts](/source/Acts_of_the_Apostles) 8:14 to [1 Corinthians](/source/First_Epistle_to_the_Corinthians) 15:38 on 90 parchment leaves (). It does not contain any of the [Catholic epistles](/source/Catholic_epistles). It is written in one column of 38-39 lines per page.[2]

It contains the [Euthalian Apparatus](/source/Euthalian_Apparatus), subscriptions at the end of each book, and [στιχοι](/source/Stichometry). The biblical text is surrounded by a [catena](/source/Catena_(Biblical_commentary)) of [Oecumenius](/source/Oecumenius).[3][4]

Some of leaves of the codex are in disorder. The order of leaves: 3-18. 1. 2. 19-46. 47-58. 59. 63. 64. 59. 60-62. 73. 74. 65. 66. 69-72. 67. 68. 75-78. 127-142. 79-126. 143-158. 167-182. 159-166.[4]

Leaves 183-440 of the same codex formerly belonged to another manuscript. They have now been bound together. These leaves have a duplicate portion (1 Corinthians 13:6-15:38) and some contradictory readings.[3] Now they are classified as [Minuscule 442](/source/Minuscule_442).[2]

## Text

The Greek text of the codex is mixed. [Aland](/source/Kurt_Aland) placed it in [Category III](/source/Categories_of_New_Testament_manuscripts#Category_III).[5]

## History

The manuscript was bought at Venice by [Sparwenfeldt](/source/Johan_Gabriel_Sparwenfeld) in 1678.[4] It was examined by [Belsheim](/source/Johannes_Belsheim).[3] [C. R. Gregory](/source/C._R._Gregory) saw it in 1891.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by [Scholz](/source/Johann_Martin_Augustin_Scholz) (1794-1852).[6]

Formerly it was labelled by 68a and 73p.[4] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 441 to it.[1]

It is currently housed at the [University of Uppsala](/source/University_of_Uppsala) (Gr. 1, p. 3-182) in [Uppsala](/source/Uppsala).[2]
