Text
Aland did not place the Greek text in any Category.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method in represents textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20, in Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]
It creates the textual cluster 17 along with manuscripts 30, 70, 120, 287, 288, and 880. Among these manuscripts 30 and 288 form pairs.[7]
In Matthew 1:11 it has additional reading τον Ιωακιμ, Ιωακιμ δε εγεννησεν (of Joakim, and Joakim was the father of). The reading is supported by Codex Campianus, Koridethi, manuscripts of the textual family f1, 33, 70, 71, and 120; the reading was cited by Griesbach in his Novum Testamentum Graece.[8][9]
History
"It was neatly written in France by George Hermonymus the Spartan, who settled at Paris in 1472, and became the Greek teacher of Budaeus and Reuchlin".[10]
It once belonged to Cardinal Charles de Bourbon (1476-1488). It was examined by Wettstein, Griesbach,[11] Scholz, and Henri Omont. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[4]
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 55) at Paris.[2][3]
