Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 289 parchment leaves (size 22 cm by 17.5 cm).[2] The leaves are arranged in quarto (four leaves in quire).[4] The text is written in one column per page, 20-22 lines per page.[2]

It contains the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top and double Synaxarion.[5] There are τιτλοι in the margins of Matthew and Luke. It is elegantly written, but the scribe used a poor source.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[7]

History

There is an inscription from 1514 made by one of its owners, Zacharias.[4]

It was described by Daniel Gotthilf Moldenhawer, who collated it about 1783 for Andreas Birch.[5] It was also collated by Matthaei. It was briefly described by Emmanuel Miller. Miller deciphered the date of the colophon as 1292.[4]

It is currently housed at the Escurial (Cod. Escurialensis, y. III. 7).[2]
