Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 268 parchment leaves (21.6 cm by 15.6 cm) with only one lacuna (John 21:9-25). It is written in one column per page, in 22 lines per page.^[2]

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (Mark 233 Sections, the last section in 16:8), whose numbers are given at the margin, wit references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).^[3]

It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.^[3]

In the 15th century in many places of the codex was inserted a Latin version between lines of the Greek text.^[3][4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Family K^x.^[5] Aland placed it in Category V.^[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family K^x in Luke 1.^[5]

History

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).^[7] It was examined by Dean Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.^[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (B. 70 sup.) in Milan.^[2]
