Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospels on 272 parchment leaves (size ), with some lacunae (John 16:8-22). Other lacunae were supplied by a later hand (Mark 3:6-21; Luke 12:48-12:2; John 18:27-21:25). Written in one column per page, 21-24 lines per page.[3] It contains tables of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 233 - 16:8), Eusebian Canons, lectionary markings, and pictures.[3][2] It is beatifuly written but tampereted by a later hand.[2]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]
In Luke 19-20 it has very good text, very close to the codex Sangallensis, and other old Uncials.[2][3]
History
The manuscript was once in Constantinople. It was brought from the East to England by Carlyle (1759-1804), professor of Arabic, together with the manuscripts 470, 471, 472, 473, 474, 488.[2]
The manuscript was examined by J. Farrer in 1804, Bloomfield, Scrivener, and Gregory. Scrivener collated and published its text in 1852.[3] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener.
It is currently housed at the Lambeth Palace (1192) in London.[1]
