Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 380 parchment leaves (size 30 cm by 22.5 cm), [2] with a commentary, and minor lacunae. [3] The text is written in one column per page, 37 lines per page. [2]

The commentary on Mark is of Victor, [4] mixed up with the text, both in slovenly hand. [3]

It contains synaxaria, Menologion, and pictures. The tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) were added by a later hand before each Gospel. At the end of each Gospel were added subscriptions with numbers of verses. [4] Mark 16:9-20 was marked by an obelus as doubtful.

The text of Matthew 1:1-4:11 was supplied by a later hand. [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 represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 no profile was made. [6]

History

The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782), Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886. [4]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 757), at Rome. [2]
