Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 298 parchment leaves (21.8 cm by 16.6 cm). The text is written in one column per page, in 21 lines per page.[2]

It contains Prolegomena, lectionary markings at the margin (for Church reading), subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of stichoi.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[4] Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It creates textual pair with 1471.[4]

History

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[6] It was examined and described by Giuseppe Cozza-Luzi.[7] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Ottob. gr. 204) in Rome.[2]
