Description
The codex contains the entire of New Testament (except Book of Revelation), on 377 parchment leaves (size 17.4 cm by 13.4 cm).[2] Catholic epistles placed before Pauline epistles.[3] The leaves are arranged in octavo (eight leaves in quire).[4] The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page,[2] in neat minuscule letters.[5] According to Emmanuel Miller, it is very elegantly written.[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. The text of the Gospels is also divided according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains the Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the Script error: No such module "Lang". (tables of contents) before each book, and pictures. Many corrections were made by a later hand, but original text is valuable, with some unique readings.[6]
