Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 177 parchment leaves (18.8 cm by 14.1 cm), with lacuna (Mark 8:3-15:36). The text is written in one column per page, in 25-26 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Matthew 358, Mark 237 – the last section in 16:19, Luke 342, John 226), with references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, synaxaria, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of στιχοι in Matthew.[3][4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Πa in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20, as a core member.[6]

History

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 87) at Paris.[2]
