Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 219 parchment leaves (24.5 cm by 19.5 cm),[2] with only some lacunae (Matthew 1:1-17; Mark 1:1-15; 16:13-20; Luke 1:1-7; 24:43-53; John 1:1-9; 21:3-25). The text is written in one column per page, in 20 lines per page.[3]
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 a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, but it was added by a later hand. It contains lectionary markings at the margin.[4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20, and creates cluster 352.[5]
It is close to minuscule 375.
History

The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (B. 93 sup.) in Milan.[2]
