Description

The codex contains the text of the Acts, Pauline, and Catholic epistles on 376 parchment leaves (size 28.2 cm by 21.3 cm), with some lacunae (first leaves in 2 Corinthians with 1:1-3, Ephesians with 1:1-4, and Hebrews with 1:1-6).[2] The text is written in one column per page, 22-23 lines per page,[2] on fine vellum with broad margins.[4] Titles in gold, initial letters ornamented, brilliantly illuminated.[5]

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

It contains double prolegomena, Journeys and death of Paul, tables of the κεφαλαια (to the Acts), lectionary markings at the margin, Synaxarion, Menologion, and subscriptions at the end of books.[3] The illuminations are given before each book.

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[6]

History

The manuscript was written by Antonius, a monk.[3] According to the colophon the manuscript was written by Antonios of Malaka in 1244. Dating of the manuscript is problematic, possibly the colophon was not inserted by original scribe. It was examined by Scrivener and Gregory (1883).[3]

Formerly it was labeled by 223a and 277p.[3] In 1908 C. R. Gregory gave number 223 for it.[1]

It is currently housed at the University of Michigan Library (Ms. 34), at Ann Arbor, Michigan.[2]
