Lectionary 320 (Gregory-Aland), designated by siglum ℓ 320 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), is a Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 14th century. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.
Description[edit]
The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium),[1] on 196 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (21.7 cm by 14.6 cm). Some leaves of the codex at the end were lost.[2][3] It was written by several hands.[4]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page.[2][3] It has not musical notes.[1]
The codex contains weekday Gospel lessons from Easter to Pentecost and Saturday/Sunday Gospel lessons for the other weeks.[2]
On folio 66 there is a note in red ink recording the work of a certain Makarios, monk and priest, also called Zographos.[5] The note states:
- Μακάριος Μοναχὸς ἀμάρτολος ἱερεὺς
- οὗτος τὸ ἐπήκλην ζογράφος διὰ σινεργασίας
- Καὶ μόχθου ἐπ(λ)ιρόθη ἡ βήβλο(ς) αὔτι.
History[edit]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (268e)[4] and Gregory (number 320e).[1] Gregory saw it in 1883.[1]
