Description

It contains the text of the four Gospels on 333 paper leaves (24.2 by 17.3). The text is written in 1 column per page, 24 lines per page.[1] It contains numerals of the κεφαλαια at the margin (in Coptic and Greek), the Ammonian Sections, the Eusebian Canons, and illuminations. The manuscript omits the additions in Matthew 17:11; Luke 22:43.44 (the agony); John 5:3.4 (the descent of the angel); Pericope Adultera (7:53-8:11), but contains those of Matthew 23:13 (after verse 14); Luke 23:17.34.[2][3]

The manuscript was examined by Lightfoot and Headlam.[1] Horner used it in his edition of the Bohairic New Testament.[4]

Currently it is housed at the Bodleian Library (Huntington 20) in Oxford.
