Description
The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 357 parchment leaves (31 cm by 24 cm). It contains the Eusebian tables, lists of κεφαλαια, prolegomena, pictures, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 233), Eusebian Canons, with short scholia, commentary of Victorinus to the Gospel of Mark, synaxaria and pictures.[2]
The pericope John 7:53-8:11 is placed at the end.[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[3]
In Luke 16:19 the manuscript has scholion on a margin of uncertain date ευρον δε τινες και του πλουσιου εν τισιν αντιγραφοις τουνομα Νινευης λεγομενον. The same scholion has manuscript 36.[4] Currently we have only one Greek manuscript with textual variant ονοματι Ν[ιν]ευης (with the name N[in]eue) in Luke 16:19 - Papyrus 75. This reading has also Sahidic version.[4] The manuscript was examined by Montfaucon, Wettstein, Scholz, and Gregory.[5]
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Coislin Gr. 21) at Paris.[6]
