Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 198 parchment leaves (size 14.5 cm by 10.8 cm), with only one lacuna in John 21:19-25. The manuscript was written by many hands.[4] The writing is in one column per page, 20-26 lines per page.[2]

It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια before every Gospel, numerals of the κεφαλαια are given at the margin, the τιτλοι, the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 239 - 16:16), the Eusebian Canons, lectionary markings, subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels, and pictures.[3][4]

The text of Matthew 16:2b–3 (Signs of the Times) and John 21:19-25 were omitted by the original scribe.[4]

History
