Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Mark 13:28-14:33; Luke 1:10-58; 21:26-22:50) on 203 parchment leaves (23 cm by 18 cm). The text is written in two columns per page (size of column 16.3 by 4.6 cm), in black ink. The initial letters are in red or blue ink.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237, the last numbered section in in 16:15), but there are no references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

It contains αναγνωσεις (lessons), and pictures. The number of αναγνωσεις in Matthew is 129, in Mark 190, in Luke 309, in John 379.[3] Synaxaria and Menologion were added by later hand in the 15th century on the paper.[3][4]

The text of John 5:4 is marked with an obelus; the text of the pericope John 7:53-8:11 is omitted.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is mixed. It contains some the Western and the Caesarean elements, but the Byzantine element is predominate. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[6]

In Matthew 27:9 it has unique variant ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἰησαίου τοῦ προφήτου (fulfilled what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet). This variant is supported only by Latin Codex Rehdigeranus. Another manuscripts contain "Jeremiah" or omitted name of the prophet.[7]

History

The manuscript probably was written in Calabria. At the end of Luke it is written κυριε σωσων με, τον αμαρτωλον ονησιμον (the Lord save me, a sinner Onesimus). Probably it was written by Onesimus.[3] It was partially collated by Scholz (1794-1852).[3] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]

It was held in Fontainebleau.

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 68) at Paris.[2]
