| == Significance ==
| |
|
| |
| Lectionary 7 is one of the earlier dated Greek Gospel lectionaries and provides evidence for the continued transmission of the Byzantine text tradition during the medieval period. As with many Greek lectionaries, its readings frequently align with the traditional Greek text underlying the [[Textus Receptus]].
| |
|
| |
| The manuscript is also important for the study of medieval Greek liturgical practice because of its musical notation and structured ecclesiastical readings.
