Description
The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 278 parchment leaves (size 25.1 cm by 20.6 cm).[2] Pauline epistles followed after Catholic epistles. It is written in one column per page, in 21 lines per page, in light-brown or dark-brown ink, capital letters in gold.[3] It is a "splendid copy".[4]
The text is divided according to the Script error: No such module "Lang". (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their Script error: No such module "Lang". (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 sections - the last in 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) before each Gospel, in red and gold, lectionary markings at the margin, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, numbers of Script error: No such module "Lang"., Menologion, and synaxaria. It uses "iota adscript".[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx and creates cluster 202.[5]
The Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by an obelus.[3][4]
History
Formerly the manuscript belonged to the monastery S. Marco in Florence (together with Add MSS 14770 and 14771). Later it belonged to Samuel Butler Bishop of Lichfield.[3] It was purchased from Payne and Foss, on 16 November 1843.
It was examined by Birch and Bloomfield. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]
It is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 14774) in London.[2]
