Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 270 parchment leaves.[1] It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the Eusebian tables, lists of κεφαλαια, the Ammonian sections, but not the Eusebian Canons on a margin. It has pictures.[2] The text has some affinities with codex 59.[2][3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex has some the Byzantine readings, but it is not pure the Byzantine text. Hermann von Soden lists as II. Aland did not assign it to a Category.
History
The manuscript belonged once to Auxentius. Theophilus Zagoloras sent it to the one of the monastery at Athos peninsula in A.D. 1400.[2] It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676). The manuscript was collated by C. F. Matthaei.[3] It was examined by Matthei and Delitzsch.
The manuscript is currently housed at the Russian State Library (F. 181. 9 (Gr. 9)) at Moscow.[1]
