Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Luke (11:2-24:53); John 1:1-7:1; 7:18-20:30; 21:11-25 on 110 leaves (size 27.3 cm by 20.5 cm) with a commentary. The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.[2] The initial letters are written in red.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers of at the margin. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (later hand), (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[4]
It contains full scholia neatly written on the margin, synaxaria, and Menologion.[4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[6]
It contains the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) but with questionable scholion on the margin: ταυτα μετα και του κεφαλαιου της μοιχαλιδος. Εν τισι των αντιγραφων ωβελισται.[3]
In John 8:8 it has textual variant ενος εκαστου αυτων τας αμαρτιας (sins of every one of them), as in Codex Nanianus, 73, 331, 413, Minuscule 700, and some other manuscripts.[3]
History
Sir George Wheler brought the manuscript from Constantinople to England in 1676 (together with the codex 68 and ℓ 3).[3]
It was examined by Mill (as Wheeleri 2), and Nicoll (John 5-7 for Scholz).[4] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]
It is currently housed at the Lincoln College (Gr. 16), at Oxford.[2]
