The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 397 paper leaves (size 26.8 cm by 18.8 cm).[3][6]
The text is written in one column per page, with 38 lines per page.[3]
It contains Prolegomena, Argumentum, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) with the harmony, subscriptions, numbers of στιχοι, and the numbers of verses in Luke, as well as a commentary of Theophylact.[6]
Text
Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any category.[7] It was not examined using the Claremont Profile Method,[8] and it lacks the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[6]
History
Gregory dated the manuscript to the 15th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 15th century.[4]
The manuscript once belonged to Seb. Tengnagel.[6]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (828) and Gregory (723). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1887.[6]
At present the manuscript is housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 122) in Vienna.[3][4]
