The Greek text of the codex Aland did not place in any of his Categories. [5] Wisse did not examine it by using his Profile Method. [6]

History

The manuscript in 1482 belonged to the monastery Great Lavra at Athos. Formerly the manuscript was held in the monastery Philotheus at Athos peninsula, then in Dionysius monastery. It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676). [4] The first part of the manuscript (Matt.-Mark) was collated by C. F. Matthaei. The second part (Luke-John) was sold by Matthaei to the library in Dresden. This part was examined by Tregelles and H. v. Gebhardt. [3] It was held in Saxon State Library (A 100) until World War II. After the war it was brought to Moscow.

The Gospel of Matthew and Mark of the manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 91, S. 47, 355 fol.) at Moscow, the Gospels of Luke and John in the State Archive (F. 1607, No. 3,226 fol.) in Moscow. [2]
