The text is written in Greek large minuscule letters, on 209 paper leaves, in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[1] According to Scrivener it is rather barbarously written.[3]

History

According to the colophon it was written 1381 by Presbyter John.[4]

The colophon stated:

ει και ασφαλματα ευρηται εν τη βιβλω ταυτην, του αγιου και πανσεπτος ευαγγελιου ευχεστε δηα τον κν και μη καρασθε ωτι ουδης διναται, γραφη ανευ βορβωρου και σσωλωι κεισμου ωτι και ο γραφων παραγραφει εγραφη δε το παρον και αγιον ευαγγελιων διαχιρος ιωαννου ιερεις΄εμνηνη διδαιμβριω εις την ια επι ετους ςωπ.

It has also note "Gallicio 1624".[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 170e) and Gregory (number 264e). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4] It was described by Carlo Castellani.

The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[5]

Currently the codex is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. I.4 (1396)) in Venedig.[1] [2]
