Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 253 paper leaves (size 21.5 cm by 15 cm).[3] The text of Matthew 1:1-15 was supplied by a later hand.[6] The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages.[6]
It contains Argumentum (explanation of using Eusebian Canons), tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel, Lectionary markings, incipits, αναγνωσεις (lessons), and subscriptions. Synaxarion and Menologion were supplied in the 15th century.[6]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[7] Aland placed it in Category V.[8]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It belongs to the subgroup 35 (lacks reading 37 in Luke 1).[7]
The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[6]
History
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 15th century;[5] Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century.[6] The manuscript is currently dated by the INTF to the 14th century.[4]
The manuscript was brought εκ των κατα την Μηλον διαλυθεντων μονυδριων in 1834. It was noticed in catalogue from 1876.[9]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (861)[5] and Gregory (769). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[6]
The manuscript is now housed at the National Library of Greece (162) in Athens.[3][4]
