Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 181 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 15.5 cm).[1] Written in one column per page, 29 lines per page.[1]

It contains the Eusebian tables, tables of κεφαλαια, lectionary markings, synaxaria, Menologion, subscriptions, and στιχοι.[2]

There are some marginal glosses made by a later hand, and a Latin version over parts of Matthew (between lines of Greek text). The text of John 7:53-8:11 was obelised by a later hand.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[4] Aland placed it in Category V.[5]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[4]

History

The manuscript was described by Daniel Gotthilf Moldenhawer, who collated it about 1783 for Andreas Birch.[3]

It is currently housed at the Escurial (Cod. Escurialensis, y. III. 6).[1]
