Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 175 parchment leaves (28.1 cm by 22.7 cm),[1] with some lacunae (Matt. 1:1-11:1; 14:25-19:21; Luke 24:39-53; John 20:15-21:19). First 28 leaves are paper. It contains tables of κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, lectionary markings, κεφαλαια, αναγνωσεις, στιχοι and subscriptions.[2] It is correctly written. Lacuna at Matthew 1:1-11:1 was supplied by a later hand in the 14th century on a paper.[3]

At the end of the codex is written: το παρον Βιβλιον υπαρχον της αγιοτατης μετροπολεως ξανθης του τιμιου προδρομου, και οστε βουληθη αποξενοσαι τουτο εκ του μοναστηριου ταυτης να εχη τας αρας των τιη θεοφορων πατερων λ.[5]
