Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of John on 60 parchment leaves (size 12.3 cm by 8.5 cm)) with one lacunae (Matthew 1:1-8:5). Written in one column per page, 25-27 lines per page.[1] It contains κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections, (not Eusebian Canons), and lectionary markings.[3][2]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of the text-types. Aland did not place it in any Category.[4]
History
The manuscript was written by Cosmas Vanaretus, a monk. Formerly it belonged to the monastery of St. Maximus. In 1853 it was bought together with Minuscule 502 from Constantine Simonides.[3][2]
It was examined by Bloomfield, Scrivener, and Gregory.[3]
It is currently housed at the British Library (Additional Manuscripts, 19389) in London.[1]
