Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 229 parchment leaves (size 22.4 cm by 17.5 cm).[2] The text is written in two columns per page, in 25 lines per page, in light-brown or dark-brown ink, capital letters in gold.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers – all in gold – are given at the margin. It contains references to the Eusebian Canons in red (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains pictures, Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and fragments of Gregory of Nyssa against the Arians. The Synaxarion and Menologion were added in the 14th century.[3][4]
