Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. The manuscript has no complex contents.[3][4] Formerly it was designated by 796e, 263a, and 312p.[5]
Description
[edit]The codex contains the text of the New Testament except Apocalypse, on 319 parchment leaves (size 15.5 cm by 10.5 cm), with some lacunae.[3] It lacks texts of 2 Peter 3:14-1 John 2. Text of Hebrews 13:1-25 was supplied by a later hand on paper.[5]
The order of books: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, and Pauline epistles.[5]
The text is written in one column per page, 34 lines per page.[3]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 240 sections, the last in 16:9). There is no references to the Eusebian Canons.[5]
It contains Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια, lectionary markings, incipits, Synaxarion (added by the 15th century hand), and pictures.[5] It contains subscriptions added by a later hand.[1]
