Lectionary 1, designated siglum ℓ 1 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament on vellum. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 10th century.^[1] Formerly it was known as Codex Colbertinus 700, then Codex Regius 278.

The codex contains lessons from the Gospels lectionary (Evangelistarium) with some lacunae.^[2] The text is written in Greek uncial letters, on 265 parchment leaves (30 cm by 24 cm), 2 columns per page, 10 lines per page,^[1] 7–9 letters per line.^[2]

Lessons from the codex were read from Pascha to Pentecost.^[1]

History

Formerly it was variously dated. Scrivener dated to the 8th century,^[3] Henri Omont to the 14th century, Gregory to the 10th century. In the present day it is unanimously dated to the 10th century.^[4]

The manuscript once belonged to Colbert.^[3] It was examined and described by Bernard de Montfaucon,^[5] Wettstein,^[6] Scholz,^[2] Paulin Martin,^[7] and Henri Omont.^[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.^[2]

It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Wettstein.^[9]
