Description

It is one of few copies of the whole New Testament and the Book of Psalms. The text is written on 444 parchment leaves (28.9 cm by 21.3 cm28.9 by 21.3) in one column per page with 23 lines per page in large uncial letters.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, but there is no τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. The text of the Gospels is not divided according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

It contains prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) preceded each sacred book, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), αναγνωσεις (lessons), subscriptions at the end of each book, numbers of στιχοι, synaxaria, Menologion, and Euthalian Apparatus.[4]

It is one of the few copies of the whole New Testament. The order of books is: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles, Apocalypse.[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 Kr. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]

In Matthew 10:12, at the margin to αυτην, stays note with reading λεγοντες ειρηνη τω οικω τουτω.[7] The reading is used by manuscripts: Sinaiticus*, 2, Bezae, Regius, Washingtonianus, Koridethi, f 1, 22, 1010, (1424), it vgcl.[8]

History

The colophon, at the end of the codex, on the page 444 informs: Η παρουσια θεια βιβλος εγραφη μεν, και ετελεστη κατα την μεγαλην πολιν εν τη σεβοτατη των μαγγανων μονη κατα το ςωοβ ετος. εδοθη δε και αφιερωθη παρ εμου νικηφορου του μυζιθρα της λακεδαιμονος καστρω περιεχουσα το ιερον ευαγγελιον και τον πραξαποστολον και το ψαλτηριον μετα της αυτου προθεωριας και της του θεολογου αποκαλυψεως.[7] According to this colophon the manuscript was written in the year 6872, it means in 1364 CE, by Nicephorus Cannavus at Constantinople. Nicephorus, son of Kannabe, presented it to the monastery to Myzithra.[7]

The manuscript was bought in 1687 in Constantinople.[4]
