Description

The codex contains a text of the four Gospels on 292 thick parchment leaves (30.2 cm by 23.2 cm), with considerable lacunae. [4] The text is written in one column per page, biblical text in 13 lines per page, text of commentary in 42 lines per page, in brown ink. The capital letters are in red ink. [5]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is no another division according to the Ammonian Sections with references to the Eusebian Canons. [5]

It contains Prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each of the Gospels, lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical use (partially), and a commentary (Mark – Victorinus). [5] [6] Grandly written, but very imperfect. [4]

Lacunae: Matthew Mt 1:1-4:25; 23:1-25:42; 26:43-55; 28:10-20; Luke 20:19-22:46; John 12:40-13:1; 15:24-16:12; 18:16-28; 20:19-21:19-25. [7]

It has errors by iota subscriptum. [5]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V. [8] It was not examined by Claremont Profile Method. [9]

History

The manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th-century. [2] [3]

It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Johann Jakob Wettstein, who gave it the number 25. It was examined and described by Griesbach, Scholz, and Paulin Martin. [10] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885. [5]

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 191) in Paris. [2] [3]
