It is written in 1 column per page, 27 lines per page, on 426 parchment leaves (20.5 by 16 cm). Capital letters in gold.[2]
The book itself was bound in silver inlaid with ivory[5] and comprises 426 leaves of vellum in quarto (20.5 by 16 cm).[6] It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian Tables, tables of κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, κεφαλαια, the Ammonian Sections, but not the Eusebian Canons, subscriptrions, στιχοι, and the Nicene Creed all in gold.[7] Synaxarion and Menologion were added by Joasaph, a calligraphist, in 1391, who also added John 8:3-11 at the end of that Gospel.[7]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[8] It belongs to the textual family Family Kx.[9]
History
The codex is named after Hieronymus Wilhelm Ebner von Eschenbach (1673-1752); a Nuremberg diplomat and German Enlightenment historian, who founded a library using his extensive collection.
