Written in one column per page, 38 lines per page, [K. Aland, M. Welte, B. Köster, K. Junack, "Kurzgefasste Liste der griechischen Handschriften des Neues Testaments", Walter de Gruyter, Berlin, New York 1994, p. 47. ] with a beautiful miniatures which were stolen before 1560.

[Kurt Aland, Barbara Aland, "The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism", transl. Erroll F. Rhodes, William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1995, p. 129. ] It belongs to the Family 1 together with manuscripts 118, 131, and 209. [Bruce M. Metzger, B.D. Ehrman, "The Text Of The New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption and Restoration", Oxford University Press, 2005, pp. 86-87. ]

History of the codex

This codex was borrowed by Reuchlin and used by Desiderius Erasmus in the first edition of his Novum Testamentum (1519). In result some of its readings came to Textus Receptus. Erasmus used this codex very little, because its text was different from other manuscripts with which he was acquainted. Oecolampadius and Gerbelius insisted to Erasmus for using more readings from this codex in third edition, but according to Erasmus the text of this codex was altered from the Latin manuscripts. [ S. P. Tregelles, "An Introduction to the Critical study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures", London 1856, p. 208. ] Wettstein was the first who thoroughly examined this codex. According to him in the Gospels its text agrees with the most ancient codices and patristic quotations. [J.J. Wettstein, "Prolegomena ad Novi Testamenti Graeci", 1730, p. 57. ] In 1751 he changed his high opinion ("Novum Testamentum Græcum"). Wettstein collated this manuscript twice, but with some errors. According to Tregelles his collation was incorrect in more than 1200 readings. Tregelles, and Roth collated its again. Tregelles noticed that this codex is similar to minuscule 118. Dean Burgon noticed that also codices 131 and 209 are similar. All this group was examined by Kirsopp Lake in 1902. [Kirsopp Lake, "Codex 1 of the Gospels and its Allies", Texts and Studies, volume vii, Cambridge, 1902, collates 1 with 118, 131, and 209. ] It was named "the Lake Group", or Family 1.

According to Hort its text preceded the byzantine text-type.
