Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden assigned it to the textual family Kr.[4] Aland did not place it to any of Categories.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kr in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20. It also creates the textual pair with minuscule 290.[4]
The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[3]
History
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[6] It was examined by Bandini, Scholz, Burgon, and Gregory (1886).[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Laurentiana (Plutei VI. 13) in Florence.[2]
