Description

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of John on 808 parchment leaves (31 cm by 23.5 cm).[2] The text is written in 1 column per page, 30 lines per page.[2] The text of the Gospel of John is surrounded by a commentary (catena) of Nicetas's authorship.[3]

The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of the text types.[3] Aland did not list it to any Category.[4]

In John 14:14 it has textual variant εαν τι αιτησητε τον πατερα instead of εαν τι αιτησητε με. The same variant appears in minuscule 397.[5]

It is difficult to date on palaeographical grounds.

History

According to F. H. A. Scrivener and Hermann von Soden the manuscript was written in the 11th century. Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[6]

Formerly the manuscript was held at the Pantokrator monastery at Athos peninsula (as codex 74). It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676). [7] It was examined by Matthaei and Treu.

The manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 90, S. 93) at Moscow.[2][6]
