Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 235 parchment leaves (size 16.3 cm by 12 cm).[3][4] The leaves 38-41 with text Matthew 15:33-17:18 were supplied in the 14th century.[4][1] The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page.[3][5] The manuscript is ornamented.[1]
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 Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, the last in 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons.[4]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum (no Eusebian Canon tables), Prolegomena, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each of the Gospels,[4] and lectionary markings.[1]
