Originally the codex contained the text of the four Gospels. Actually it has some lacunae, at the beginning, end, and inside (Luke 1:1-17; John 1:1-12). It contains text of Mark 7:10-John 7:32. The text is written in one column per page, in 20-22 lines per page.[1] The initial letters in red. It has breathings and accents.

It contains tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια, numbers of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια at the margin, the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι at the top of the pages, the Ammonian Sections, references to the Eusebian Canons.

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[2] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[3]

It contains spurious texts of Luke 22:43-44 and John 5:3.4.

The codex now is located in the Bible Museum Münster (Ms. 5).[1]
