Description
[edit | edit source]The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 290 parchment leaves (size 19 cm by 13.5 cm). The manuscript was written by many hands.[4] The writing is in one column per page, 21-25 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numerals are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, (no references to the Eusebian Canons).[4]
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before each Gospel, and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[3][4]
Text
[edit | edit source]The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified to the textual family Kx.[5] Aland did not placed it in any Category.[6]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10. In Luke 20 it has mixed Byzantine text.[5]
History
[edit | edit source]
According to the INTF it was written in the 13th-century.[2]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Glasgow University Library (Ms. Hunter 476) in Glasgow.[2]
