Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 378 thick parchment leaves (size 32.4 cm by 25.8 cm). [2] The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page. The ink is brown, the large initials in red. [3]

There is space and lines stand blank for a commentary, but it was seldom written. [3]

It is neatly written, with a few corrections added by a later hand (e.g. Matthew 27:49). [4]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 sections, the last in 16:8), but there is no references to the Eusebian Canons. [3]

It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and lectionary markings for liturgical readings at the margin. [4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V. [5]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it creates textual cluster 127. It is close to minuscule 132. [6]

History

The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782). C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886. [3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 349), at Rome. [2]
