Description

The manuscript contains the text of the four Gospels. The Gospels follow in the Western order.[1]

It has numerous lacunae.[2]

The Latin text of the codex is basically African recension, but it has been strongly Europeanized.[3]

In John 1:34 it reflects ὁ ἐκλεκτός along with the manuscripts \mathfrak{P}5, \mathfrak{P}106, א, b, ff2, syrc, syrs.[4]

History

The manuscript was acquired from Trent between 1800 and 1829.[2] It was edited by Constantin von Tischendorf (Evangelicum Palatinum ineditum, Leipzig 1847), Johannes Belsheim, and Jülicher.[1][5]

Currently it is housed at the Austrian National Library at Vienna (Lat. 1185), one leaf at the Trinity College, Dublin (N. 4. 18), and one leaf at the British Library (Add. 40107) at London.[1]
