Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[3]
In 1 John 5:6 it has textual variant δι' ὕδατος καὶ αἵματος καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου (through water and blood and the Holy Spirit) together with the manuscripts: 61, 326, 1837.[4][a] Bart D. Ehrman identified this reading as Orthodox corrupt reading.[5]
History
The manuscript was written in Constantinople by the Patriarch Sergius II (999-1019), in the beginning of the 11th century.[6] In 1218 it was brought by monk Makarius to the Athos.[2]
It was examined by Scholz, Burgon, Gregory.
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Coislin Gr. 23) at Paris.[1]
