Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 201 parchment leaves (22 cm by 16 cm). Written in one column per page, in 29-31 lines per page.[1] It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, tables of κεφαλαια (with Harmony), κεφαλααι, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 234 - 16:9), Eusebian Canons, Synaxarion, Menologion (later hand), and subscritpions.[2] It has also some scholia, extracts from Severianus's comentary, list of the Gospel parables.[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type with a mixture of other text-types. According to Gregory it is a sister of the codex 4.[2] Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Kx. Aland did not place it in any Category.[4] In Matthew 21:31 it has textual variant ὁ δεύτερος (the second) against ὁ πρῶτος (the first), ὁ ὕστερος (the last), or ὁ ἔσχατος (the last). This reading is supported by the codex 4.[5][6]
History
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 79) at Paris.[1]
