Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels with a commentary on 225 parchment leaves (19.2 cm by 14.6 cm).[1] Written stichometrically in one column per page, 24-31 lines per page. Initial letters in red,[2] it contains Epistula ad Carpianum, prolegomena, lists of κεφαλαια, Eusebian Tables, synaxaria, Menologion, lectionary markings, Ammonian Sections, τιτλοι, subscriptions, and στιχοι. I has not the Eusebian Canons.[3]

Text of Luke 3:23-38 (Genealogy of Jesus) was rewritten from the two-columns text,[4] and columns were confused, and instead of copying them vertically in proper succession, he copied the genealogy as though the two columns were one, following the lines across both columns. As a result almost everyone is made the son of the wrong father, and God is made the son of Aram, and Phares is a creater of the world.[2] Scribe evidently did not understand text which rewrote.

It does not contain the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[2]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] It belongs to the textual family Family Kx.[6] It is close to Minuscule 54.[2]

History

It once belonged to Richard Mead, then to Askew. Richard Mead showed it for Wettstein in 1746.[2]

It is housed at the British Library (Additional 5117) at London.[1]
