Description

The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels, on 298 parchment leaves (23.5 cm by 17 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page, size of text has only 16.4 by 11 cm.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 sections, the last in 16:8), whose numbers are given at the margin, no references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum and the Eusebian Canon tables at the beginning, subscriptions are given at the end of each Gospel with numbers of ρηματα and numbers of στιχοι. It has also Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures.[3]

The style is rather barbarous.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 it has mixed Byzantine text.[5]

In John 1:29 it lacks phrase ο Ιωαννης along with manuscripts Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, Cyprius, Campianus, Petropolitanus Purpureus, Vaticanus 354, Nanianus, Macedoniensis, Sangallensis, Koridethi, Petropolitanus, Athous Lavrensis, 045, 047, 0141, 8, 565, 1192;[7]

History

According to the colophon it was written ωρα γ της ημερας, πολευοντος ζ ηλεου δι επων. "ζ ηλεου" means seventh sun.[8]

It was written when "Manuel Porphyrogennetus was ruler of Constantinople, Amauri of Jerusalem, William II of Sicily".[4]

This codex was used by Robert Estienne in his Editio Regia (1550), in which was designated by him as ιβ'. It was in private hands and belonged to Peter Stella (about 1570), then to Boistallier. It became part of collection of Kuster (Kuster's Paris 3).[4]

It was examined and described by Montfaucon and Wettstein.[9] Scholz collated Matthew 1-8; Mark 1-4; John 4-8.[3] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[10] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]

The codex now is located at the National Library of France (Gr. 83) in Paris.[2]
