The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 264 parchment leaves (size 12.5 cm by 8.5 cm).^[2] The text is written in one column per page, in 25 lines per page.^[2] The initial letters in gold, the ink is brown.^[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages.^[3]

It contains lists of the κεφαλαια (lists of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and pictures (added by later hand).^[3][4]

The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.^[3]

Text

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

According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family K^r in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It creates textual cluster 167.^[5]

History

It was examined by Birch (about 1782) and Scholz (1794–1852). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.^[3]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 287), at Rome.^[2]
