The codex contains text of the four Gospels, Acts and epistles on 300 parchment leaves, with some lacunae (Matt. 14:15-15:30; 20:14-21:37; Mark 12:3-13:4). Written 1 column per page, 30 lines per page, size 17.5 cm by 14 cm.[1] It contains κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 241), and pictures. It has not the Eusebian Canons. The Catholic epistles and Pauline epistles are divided according to Euthalian apparatus.[3]
History
The manuscript was written on the order of Michael VIII Palaiologos (1260-1282), and was presented to the king of France Louis IX in 1269 or 1270.[3] Wettstein rightly judged that it was used by Robert Estienne in his Editio Regia as θ'. The text of the manuscript was collated by Wettstein.[2]
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Coislin Gr. 200) at Paris.[1]
