I asked this question earlier, but I guess it got lost in the assorted
recent controversies....

I've recently been wondering about 2427. It's a manuscript of Mark
(Aland dates it as XIV century) that has the peculiar property of
standing closer to B than any other manuscript (including Aleph,
according to my statistics).

I saw a reference in a commentary once claiming that this manuscript
was of questionable authenticity. I can imagine a reason for the
question: What is a near-copy of B doing being made in the fourteenth
century? But this doesn't seem to me to be reason enough to really
cast doubt on it. Does anyone know anything about why this ms. is
controversial?
