Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 223 parchment leaves (20.5 cm by 17 cm) with some lacunae (Matthew 1:1-17; John 6:55-9:13; 11:30-45; 18:20-36). The text is written in one column per page, in 22 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (Mark 233 Sections, the last in 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[3][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 has a mixture of the Byzantine text-families in Luke 1, in Luke 20 it represents Kx. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]
History
Formerly the manuscript was held in the monastery of St. Cosmae et Damiani in Brusa of Prussia. Wiedmann and Braun collated portions of the manuscript for Scholz.[4] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[7] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. I. 10) in Venice.[2]
