Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Iβ. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[7] According to Gregory it could be related to the textual family f13.[5]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual cluster 1216 in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20, which stands in considerable distance to Kx.[8]

The texts of the, John 5:4.5, and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) are marked by an obelus. The text of the Christ's agony at Gethsemane (Luke 22:43.44) is marked by "Lk".[5]

History

Gregory dated the manuscript to the 12th century,[5] other palaeographers dated it to the 11th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4]

The manuscript was examined and described by Antonio Rocci in 1882.[9] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (627)[6] and Gregory (829e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Biblioteca della Badia (A' α. 6), in Grottaferrata.[3] [4]
