Contents

Gospel of Luke 4:34-5:4, 6:10-26, 12:6-43, 15:14-31, 17:34-18:15, 18:34-19:11, 19:47-20:17, 20:34-21:8, 22:27-46, 23:30-49;

Description

The codex contains text of the Gospels in a fragmentary condition on 13 parchment leaves (26.5 cm by 21.5 cm). Written in two columns per page, 28 lines per column, in large uncial letters.^[2]

It has the Ammonian Sections, but Eusebian Canons are absent. It is a palimpsest, large parts of his verses are illegible. The upper text of the codex is in Latin text Isidore of Seville's (Origins and letters), as in the Codex Guelferbytanus A. The letters Θ, Ε, Ο, Σ being compressed, a departure from the very ancient forms.

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with a number (about 20%) of an alien readings (usually Alexandrian), which stand in a close agreement with the later Alexandrian witnesses L, 33, 579). Aland placed it in Category V.^[1]

The history of the codex is linked with Guelferbytanus A. The codex is located in Wolfenbüttel Herzog August Bibliothek (Weissenburg 64).^[1]
