Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 231 parchment leaves (size 30.3 cm by 21.5 cm), without any lacunae.[3]

The text is written in two columns per page, 60-68 lines per page.[3]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, but without references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]

It contains Prolegomena, lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents), subscriptions at the end of the Gospels, numbers of στιχοι, Synaxarion, lectionary markings at the margin, and pictures. It has a commentary of Theophylact.[6]
