The codex contains lessons from the Gospels of John, Matthew, Luke lectionary (Evangelistarium),[3] on 206 parchment leaves (26 cm by 20.3 cm). The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[1][2] According to Scrivener the manuscript is neat and complete.[4]
There are daily lessons from Easter to Pentecost.[1]
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 14th or 15th century, Gregory to the 14th century.[4][3] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 14th century.[1][2]
Of the history of the codex nothing is known until the year 1864, when it was in the possession of a dealer at Janina in Epeiros. It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist,[5] along with other Greek manuscripts.[3] They were transported to England in 1870-1871.[6] The manuscript was presented by Burdett-Coutts to Sir Roger Cholmely's School, and was housed at the Highgate (Burdett-Coutts III. 34), in London.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 247) and Gregory (number 224). Gregory saw it in 1883.[3] In 1922 it was acquired for the University of Michigan.[7] The manuscript was digitalized by the CSNTM in 2008.[8]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[9]
Currently the codex is housed at the University of Michigan (Ms. 31) in Ann Arbor.[1][2]
