The text is written in one column per page, 32 lines per page.[3][5]

History

Emmanuel Miller and C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century.[6] It is presently assigned to the 14th century on palaeographic grounds by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research.[3][5]

The manuscript was briefly described by Emmanuel Miller in 1848.[4] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Gregory (818e).[6]

The manuscript is now housed in El Escorial (Ψ. III, 13).[3][5]
