Description

The codex contains a small part of the Mark 1:31-2:16; Luke 1:20-31.64-79; 2:24-48, on 7 parchment leaves (29.5 cm by 21.3 cm). It is written in two columns per page, 22 lines per page,[2] in large uncial letters. The writing is similar to Codex Sangallensis 48 but bigger. It has diacritic marks and accents.[3]

It is a palimpsest, the upper text has Latin Vulgate.[2] The leaves were washed to make a palimpsest, and the writing erased in parts by a knife.[1]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the mixed text-type, with a strong element of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family I'.[4] Aland placed it in Category III.[2]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixed text in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 the manuscript is defective.[4]

History

It is dated by the INTF to the 9th-century.[5]

The manuscript was examined by Tischendorf.[3]

Four leaves of the codex are housed at the Abbey library of Saint Gall (18, fol. 143-146; 45, fol. 1-2) in St. Gallen, and three leaves in Zürich (Zentralbibliothek, C 57, fol. 5, 74, 93, 135).[2]
