Description
The codex contains the text of the New Testament except Book of Revelation on 275 parchment leaves (13.3 cm by 10.3 cm). Written in one column per page, in 28-33 lines per page.[1] It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, Prolegomena, tables of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, lectionary markings (later hand), and Euthalian apparatus.[2]
The pericope John 7:53-8:11 was added by a later hand in the 15th century (as in codex 470).[2]
The order of books: Gospels, Acts, Pauline epistles, Catholic epistles.[2]
Text
The Greek text of the Acts of the Apostles and the Catholic epistles Aland placed in Category III. It exhibits a remarkable text. Text of the Pauline epistles and Apocalypse has lower value, it is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[3]
According to Scrivener it has "many unusual readings" (probably it refers to the Acts).[4]
History
The manuscript formerly belonged to Domfrauen von Andlau. In 1607 it was presented to the Jesuits Collegium in Molsheim (hence name of the codex) in Alsace.[2] Jesuit Hermann Goldhagen made extracts from the codex in 1753. Arendt made a collation from it.[4] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[5]
It is currently housed at the Priesterseminarium (1) in Strasbourg.[1]
