Description

The codex contains complete text of the four Gospels on 291 leaves (size 25.1 cm by 20.7 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[2]

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, but this system is not complete. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Matthew 341, Mark not complete, Luke 349, John 229 – 21:17), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]

It contains the Eusebian tables, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before every Gospel, few lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), and pictures.[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 Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 10 and Luke 20. In Luke 1 it has mixed text.[5]

In John 8:8 the codex has unique textual addition: ενος εκαστου αυτων τας αμαρτιας (sins of every one of them). This textual variant have Codex Nanianus, 95, 331, 364, 413, 658, 700, 782, 1592 and some Armenian manuscripts. 652 has this variant on the margin added by a later hand. Minuscule 264 has this textual variant in John 8:6.[7]

History

It is marked Ex dono Mauri Cordati Principis Hungaro-Walachiae, Anno 1724.[4]

The manuscript came from Constantinople to England about 1724 and belonged to archbishop of Canterbury, William Wake (1657–1737), along with minuscule manuscripts 74, 506-520. Wake presented it to the Christ Church College in Oxford. In 1732 John Walker slightly collated it for Bentley.[8] It was examined by G. W. Kitchin. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]

It is currently housed in at the Christ Church College (Wake 26), at Oxford.[2]
