Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 460 leaves (16 cm by 12.1 cm), though from John 18:3 the text is supplied. The text is written in one column per page, 19 lines per page. It is ornamented in gold and silver.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numerals are given at the margin, the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241, the last section in 16:20), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, pictures. The (synaxaria and Menologion were added by a later hand.[4]
It was extensively altered by a later hand.[4]

History
The first collation prepared Larroque (along with the codices 28-33), but it was very imperfect.[4]
It was examined and described by Wettstein, Scholz (1794-1852), and Paulin Martin.[7] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 115) at Paris.[2]
