Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 386 parchment leaves (size 17.9 cm by 13.5 cm). The writing is in one column per page, 18 lines per page.[2] It contains Eusebian tables at the beginning of the manuscript, liturgical books with hagiographies (Synaxarion and Menologion), and numerous pictures, including a portrait of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos.[4][5]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.[6] Aland placed it in Category V.[7] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kr in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[6]
History
The manuscript was produced for Demetrios Palaiologos.[4] It is dated by the INTF to the 15th century.[2]
The manuscripts was examined and described by Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568, 570-572, 574, and 1567), who made the first collation of its text. The manuscript was more thoroughly examined by Kurt Treu.
Currently the manuscript is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 118) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
