Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 239 parchment leaves, with only one lacuna (Matthew 1:1-12). Matthew 1:1-12 was added by a later hand in 16th or 17th century.

The text is written in one column per page, in 24-25 lines per page.[2]

It contains tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, numbers of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin of the text, and the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland did not place it in any Category.[4]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Π1441 in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 120) at Paris.[2]
