Description

The manuscript contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 219 parchment leaves (21 cm by 15.5 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page. [2] Matthew 28:18-20 is written in cruciform. The capital letters are often occur in the middle of words. According to F. H. A. Scrivener the manuscript was carelessly written. [3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241 - 16:20), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers). [4]

It contains the Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, pictures, lectionary markings (added by later hand), synaxaria (later hand), and some corrections added by a later hand . [3]
