Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 158 parchment leaves (size 24 cm by 19.3 cm).[2] The leaves are arranged in quarto (four leaves in quire).[3] The text is written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[2] Some leaves were dislocated by binder.[4]

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given at the margin, but references to the Eusebian Canons are absent.[4]

It contains Prolegomena to the four Gospels, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, pictures. Many corrections were made by a later hand, which dates 1308.[5][4] It contains portraits of the four Evangelists.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the K1.[6] Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It belongs to the textual cluster Ω.[6]

History

A later hand, which dates from 1308, has been making corrections.[5]

The manuscript belonged to Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza (1578–1651),[8][4] along with minuscule 819.

It was described by Daniel Gotthilf Moldenhawer, who collated it about 1783 for Birch (Esc. 5).[5] It was shortly described by Emmanuel Miller in 1848.[3]

It is currently housed at the Escurial (Cod. Escurialensis, X. III. 15).[2]
