Description
The codex contains on 152 parchment leaves (20,5 cm by 15,2 cm) almost complete text of the four Gospels, with some lacunae (Matt. 2-3; 28; Mark 5-6; 8-9; John 12; 14; 17). Written partly in double columns and partly in cruciform, 37 or 38 lines per page.[2] Parchment is thick, ink is brown.<ref name = Gregory/> The letters are small. It contains prolegomena, lists of κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 237), Eusebian Canons, and lectionary equipment on a margin.[1]
It does not contain the text of Matthew 16:2b-3, text of John 5:3.4 is present, but they were marked by obelus in the left-hand margin, indicating that the passage is doubtfull.[3] The pericope John 7:53-8:11 is not marked.[1]
It uses grammar form ειπαν (for 3 person i plural in aoristus) typical for the Koine-Greek, instead of ειπον typical for the Byzantine-Greek.
Lacunae
Matthew 2:15-3:12; 28:10-20; Mark 5:40-6:18; 8:35-9:19; John 2:17-42; 14:7-15:1; 18:34-21:25.[4]
History
The codex was formerly held in the monastery of St. Andrew on Athos Peninsula. Gregory examined it in 1886. It was brought by T. Whittemore to the United States. Since 1942 the codex is located in the Princeton University Library (Library Μed. and Ren. Mss, Garrett 1), in Princeton, New Jersey.[2]
