Description
Text
The Greek text of the codex is considered a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Biblical scholar Hermann von Soden classified it to his group Ak, related to the Antiocheian commentated text (along with Minuscule 534, Minuscule 546, Minuscule 558, and Minuscule 715).[4] Biblical scholar Kurt Aland placed it in Category V of his New Testament manuscript classification system.[5]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[4]
History
The manuscript was written in time of Andronikos II Palaiologos (1272–1332).[3]
It was bought from Athens in 1884 along with the codex 531.[3] It was examined and described by William Charles Braithwaite.
The manuscript is currently housed in the Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham (Braithwaite Greek MS 2).[2]
