Description
The codex contains Lessons from the Gospels of John, Matthew, Luke lectionary (Evangelistarium).[1] Part of the first leaf (John 1:11-13) is on paper and was supplied by later hand.[2] It is written in Greek minuscule letters, on 248 parchment leaves (30 cm by 22.5 cm), in two columns per page, 27-28 lines per page.[3] According to Gregory it has "good text".[1]
It is remarkable for its departures from the received text, and for that reason was often cited by Tischendorf, Alford,[2] and Aland on the Gospels. It contains text of Luke 22:43-44 but with doubtful mark.
In Matt 23:38 word ερημος omitted like in Codex Vaticanus, Codex Regius, ff2, syrc, copsa, bomss.[4]
In Luke 14:5 it reads υἱὸς ὑμῶν (as mss. 1344, ℓ 1579) for υἱὸς ἢ βοῦς (45, 75, B, W, Δ, 28, 565, 700);[5]
In John 6:1 it reads της θαλασσης της Τιβεριαδος for της θαλασσης της Γαλιλαιας της Τιβεριαδος, the reading of the codex is supported by 0210, 1242, 1344, 2174;[6]
History
The manuscript once belonged to Charles Burney, along with codices 480, 481, 482, 484, and 485.[7]
It was examined by Scrivener and Gregory. Scrivener gave its collation in 1852 (along with the codex ℓ 183).
The manuscript is cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3,[8] UBS4[9]).
Currently the codex is located in the British Library (Burney 22) at London.[3]
