Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 282 parchment leaves (size 19 cm by 14 cm).[2][3] The text is written in one column per page, 23-25 lines per page.[2][4] It contains a commentary[3] and lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use).[1]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Ab.[5] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[6]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.[5]
It lacks text of Matthew 16:2b–3. The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is placed at the end of the Gospel of John.[3] The pericope has an additional scholion at the margin: ευρηται και ετερα εν αν αρχαιος αντιγραφοις απερ συνειδομεν γραψαι προς τω τελει του αυτου ευαγγελιστου α εστιν ταδε. The same scholion has codex 1076 (with two differences - το for τω and ευαγγελιου for ευαγγελιστου).[3]
