Description

The codex contains almost complete the text of the four Gospels with one large lacunae (Matthew 1:1-14:13) on 208 parchment leaves (size 16.5 cm by 12 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, 26-28 lines per page.[2] The initial letters in red.[3]

It contains numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin (only in Matthew), (no τιτλοι), lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, αναγνωσεις (to Matthew), synaxaria, and pictures.[4]

The Greek text of the codex in some parts represents the Byzantine text-type, in other parts is mixed. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[5]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 it has mixed Byzantine text.[6]

History

Georg Douza brought this codex from Constantinople in 1597.[3] It was cited by Frans Comer von Brügge.[7]

gollark: And you're probably fiddling with definitions somewhat to make that point, depending on what people you mean exactly.
gollark: That is subjective.
gollark: You can't stick two human rights in a particle collider and measure the moral particles produced, or something.
gollark: We just think they're a good idea. There's nothing encoded in the universe which says "yes here you go, this is Good™ and this is Bad™".
