Description
The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Luke and Gospel of John on 233 parchment leaves (size 37 cm by 27.5 cm),[1] with a commentary.[2] Written in one column per page.[1]
It is believed the date 1173 was added by a later hand, though according to Gregory it is correct date.[3]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]
History
According to the colophon it was written in 1173, but the colophon was not written by the original scribe (a somewhat later hand).[2]
The manuscript was examined by Birch and Scholz.[3]
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 758), at Rome.[1]
