Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 246 parchment leaves (size 34.4 cm by 25 cm), with some lacunae.[3][6] It lacks texts of Matthew 16:4-17:6.[6]

The text is written in two columns per page, 50 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top.[6] There is no a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, no references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]

It contains double Prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents), and a commentary of Theophylact.[6]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[8]

History

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 16th century, Gregory dated it to the 14th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 14th century.[4]
