4, known as Minuscule 2815 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 253 (Soden), formerly labelled as 2ap in all catalogues, but subsequently renumbered by Aland, is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, dated paleographically to the 12th century.
Aland placed it in Category V.[3][4] In Pauline epistles text is close to the codices 206, 429, 522 and 1891.
In 1 Corinthians 2:14 it reads πνευματος (omit του θεου) along with Minuscule 216, 255, 330, 440, 451, 823, 1827, and syrp.
[6] The manuscript belonged to the Preaching Friars, then to Amerbach, a printer of Basle.
Erasmus grounded on this copy, and he calls it exemplar mire castigatum.
