Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 268 parchment leaves (size 15.5 cm by 12 cm) with some lacunae.[2] The text is written in one column per page, 19-23 lines per page.[2] The initial letters are beautifully written (Gregory). Texts with Matthew 1:1-11:11 (folios 1-35) and John 14:1-21:25 (folios 241-268) were lost.[3] It has some additional matter at the end from Maximus and his Chronology from the 14th century.[3]
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 a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 240, last in 16:9). It has no a references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Sectin numbers).[3]
It contains the Eusebian Canon tables in uncial letters, and lectionary equipment at the margin (for liturgical use).[3][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 belongs to the textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[5]
History
F. H. A. Scrivener dated it to the 11th century. C. R. Gregory hesitated in that case (10th or 11th century).[3]
It was examined by Birch (about 1782), Scholz. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 1254), at Rome.[2]
