Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 300 thick parchment leaves (size 28.6 cm by 21.5 cm), [2] with a commentary. [3] The text is written in one column per page, 19 lines per page (size of column 14.5 by 11.8 cm). [4]

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 another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Mark 233 – 16:8; in a commentary 234 – 16:9). There are no references to the Eusebian Canons. [4]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, synaxaria, Menologion, and pictures. [4] Victor's commentary to Mark appears. [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 textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 10. In Luke 20 it has a mixture of the Byzantine text-types. It creates textual cluster 137. [6]

History

At the end we read: κσ φραγκισκος ακκιδας ευγενες κολασσευς... ρωμη ηγαγε το παρον βιβλιον ετει απο αδαμ ζφω [A.D. 1583], μηνι ιουλιω, ινδ. ια. [3] This means the manuscript was brought to Rome in 1583. [4]

It was partially examined by Birch (about 1782). C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886. [4]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 756), at Rome. [2]
