Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospels on 210 parchment leaves (size ), with numerous lacunae (Matthew 4:1-7:6; 20:21-21:12; Luke 4:29-5:1; 5:17-33; 16:24-17:13; 20:19-41; John 6:51-8:2; 12:20-40; 14:27-15:13; 17:6-18:2; 18:37-19:14). Written in one column per page, 17-25 lines per page.[3] It contains the tables of κεφαλαια (Luke, John), κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 235 - 16:14), Eusebian Canons, lectionary markings, Synaxarion, (not Menologion), subscriptions, and στιχοι.[3][2] It was by several hands.[3] According to Scrivener it was "shamefully ill written, torn and much mutilated", but it has "valuable readings by far the most important at Lambeth.[2]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is mixed. Aland did not place it in any of manuscript Categories.[4]
History
The manuscript was once in Constantinople, but brought from the East to England by Carlyle (1759-1804), professor of Arabic, together with the manuscripts 470, 471, 473, 474, 475, 488.[2]
The manuscript was examined by J. Farrer in 1804, Burney, Scrivener, and Gregory. Scrivener collated and published its text in 1852.[3] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener. Burney noticed: "Mendis erratisque ita scatet, ut scriptorum imperitiae et oscitantiae luculentissimum fiat argumentum".[5] This opinion was supprted by Scrivener: I certainly never met with a copy of the Gospels written with such irreverent and scandalous negligence, but this is only one instance out of a thousand of the danger of ludging hastily from first appearances.[5]
It is currently housed at the Lambeth Palace (1177) in London.[1]
