Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 268 parchment leaves (21.6 cm by 15.6 cm) with only one lacuna (John 21:9-25). It is written in one column per page, in 22 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (Mark 233 Sections, the last section in 16:8), whose numbers are given at the margin, wit references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[3]
In the 15th century in many places of the codex was inserted a Latin version between lines of the Greek text.[3][4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Family Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1.[5]
History
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7] It was examined by Dean Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (B. 70 sup.) in Milan.[2]
