Description
The codex contains entire of New Testament (except Book of Revelation), on 377 parchment leaves (size 17.4 cm by 13.4 cm).[1] Written in one column per page, 26 lines per page. Catholic epistles placed before Pauline epistles.[2] It contains the Eusebian tables, the Eusebian Canons, kephalaia, titloi, pictures, the Ammonian Sections, and the Eusebian Canons. Many corrections were made by a later hand, but original text is valuable, with some unique readings.[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]
History
The manuscript together with codices 227-233 was collated by D. G. Moldenhawer, who did it about 1783 for Birch.[3]
It is currently housed at the Escurial (Cod. Escurialensis, X. IV. 17).[1]
