Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 221 parchment leaves (34 cm by 26.5 cm) with a commentary. The text is written in one column per page, the biblical text in 22 lines per page, the text of a commentary in 48 lines per page.[2]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, a division according to the Ammonian Sections, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbers of στιχοι. It lacks references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

Biblical text is surrounded by a catena. In the Gospel of Mark, the commentary is of Victorinus's authorship.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kx and creates textual pair with Minuscule 373 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[5]

The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is placed at the end of John.[3]

History

The manuscript once belonged to Jean Hurault de Boistaillé (like codices 10, 203, 263, 306, 314).[3]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[6] It was examined and described by Scholz, Paulin Martin,[7] and C. R. Gregory.[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 187) at Paris.[2]
