The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages.[3]

It contains lists of the κεφαλαια (lists of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and pictures (added by later hand).[3][4]

The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It creates textual cluster 167.[5]

History

It was examined by Birch (about 1782) and Scholz (1794–1852). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 287), at Rome.[2]
