Description
The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 258 thick paper leaves (size ). Written in one column per page, 23-25 lines per page.[3] It contains the prolegomena, tables of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια,τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 234 - 16:9), (not Eusebian Canons), lectionary markings, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, subscriptions, στιχοι, and pictures.[3][2] It is a fine copy, but much damaged.[2]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] It belongs to the textual family Family Kx.[5] According to Scrivener it is different from the codex 483 — written by the same scribe — only in 183 places (errors of itacims excluded).[2]
The manuscript has several remarkable and unusual readings — from the point of view Textus Receptus — such as in Matthew 9:22; 18:30; 20:6; Mark 3:32; 5:22; 11:26; 12:12.[6]
History
The manuscript was written by monk Theodoros Hagiographita in 1292 CE. It once belonged to Charles Burney, as codices 480, 481, 482, 485, and ℓ 184.[3]> It was purchased to the British Museum in 1818.[2]
The manuscript was examined and collated by Scrivener, who 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 British Library (Burney 21) in London.[1]
