Lectionary 298 (Gregory-Aland), designated by siglum ℓ 298 (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 complex contents.
The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium), on 202 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (31 cm by 25 cm). 12 leaves at the end were supplied by two later hands. The supplied leaves, except one on paper, are palimpsest (1-4, 105-106, 229-232, 399-404). It contains Menologion at the end.
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 25 lines per page. The manuscript contains weekday Gospel lessons. The ink is brown. There are a headpieces, decorated initial letters, and music notes.
According to J. Rendel Harris it is "somewhat roughly written, but containing a better text than 2h".
According to Edward A. Guy it is only one manuscript which in Luke 7:6 agrees with Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus in omitting of προς αυτον (to Him). This omission is also supported by Papyrus 75, 892, 1241, and several other manuscripts.
C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century. It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 14th century.
