Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 248 parchment leaves (size ).[1] Written in one column per page, in 23 lines per page[1], in black ink, the capital letters in red[2]C. R. Gregory, "Textkritik des Neuen Testaments", Leipzig 1900, vol. 1, p. 161.</ref>.
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections, pictures, and subscriptions.[3]
Text
In Luke 11:2 it contains the very same remarkable reading than minuscule 700: ἐλθέτω σου τὸ πνεῦμά τὸ ἅγιον καὶ καθαρισάτω ἡμᾶς ("May your Holy Spirit come and cleanse us"), instead of "May your Kingdom come" in the Lord's Prayer.[4]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5]
History
According to the colophon it was written 13 May, 1153 by Presbyter Manuel.[3]
It was slightly examined by Birch and Scholz (1794-1852).
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 449), at Rome.[1]
