Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with only one lacunae (Luke 23:31-24:28). The Ammonian Sections and the Eusebian Canons presented. It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, lists of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections, Eusebian Canons, synaxaria, and Menologion. Initial letters are written in red and blue.[2]
According to the colophon Gospel of Matthew was written in Hebrew 8 years after Lord's Ascension, that Mark was written in Latin 10 years after the Ascension, Luke, in Greek, 15 years after, and John 32 years after.[3]
Text
The text of Luke 22:43-44 is transferred to follow after Matt. 26:39. The pericope de adultera (John 7:53-8:11) is not in the Fourth Gospel, but after Luke 21:38.[4]
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Caesarean text-type. Aland placed it in Category III. It belongs to the textual family - Ferrar Group.
The manuscript was considered by Birch as the best of the Vienna codices.[5]
History
The manuscript was written in southern Calabria. According to Scrivener "the manuscript was written in Calabria, where it belonged to a certain Leo, and was brought to Vienna probably in 1564".[6]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Griesbach. It was examined by Treschow, Alter, Birch, Ferrar, Abbott, and Gregory. Alter used it in his edition of the Greek text of the New Testament.[7] Collated by Ferrar. J. Rendel Harris found some affinities with the Old Syriac version.
Currently the codex is located at the Austrian National Library (Theol. Gr. 188) at Vienna.[8]
