Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 150 parchment leaves (size 25.5 cm by 19 cm),[3][6] with only one small lacuna in Mark 16:19-20 (after και).[5]

The text is written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[3] It has ornamental headpieces and decorated initials.

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια, which numbers are given the left margin, and their τιτλοι at the top; there is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (Mark 233, 16:8), with a references to the Eusebian Canons. It contains subscriptions (to Matthew), and pictures.[5][6] It has a few lectionary markings on the margin added by a later hand.[5]

According to Scrivener it has "a very unusual style".[5]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[7] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[8]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents mixed Byzantine text, related to the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[7]

The texts of Matthew 16:2b–3, John 5:3.4, Pericope Adulterae (John 8:3-8:11) are marked with an obelus.[6]

History

Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 11th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[4]

The manuscript was held n Constantinople, where it was bought in 1882.[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscript by Scrivener (606) and Gregory (707). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.[6]

Actually the manuscript is housed at the Bodleian Library (Auct. T. inf. 2. 6) in Oxford.[3][4]

gollark: OH BEE, it still errors.
gollark: I see. So I should `car`ify it? Fascinating.
gollark: ```scheme(define metagollariosity (lambda (x y z) (define opponent-next-move (z y x z)) (display "about to be gollarious\n") (display "simulating...\n") (write z) (define simulate (lambda (n) (z (cons n y) (cons opponent-next-move x) z)) (define if-defect (simulate 1)) (write "simulated to depth 1") (define if-cooperate (simulate 0)) (write if-cooperate) (if (> (prisond 1 if-defect) (prisond 0 if-cooperate)) 1 0))))```Ignore all the `write`s, they are for debugging.
gollark: It's an `if` which should return only 0 or 1.
gollark: The last thing in a lambda is what gets returned, right?
