Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 183 (177 + 6) parchment leaves (size 12 cm by 8 cm)[2]. Written in one column per page, 30 lines per page (size of text 12 by 8 cm). Capital letters in gold.[3] The text of the Gospels is divided according to κεφαλαια, in upper margins inserted τιτλοι of these κεφαλαια. The text has also another division according to the Ammonian Sections. It has not the Eusebian Canons.[4]
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5] Textually is very close to the codex 119.[6]
History
Formerly the manuscript belonged to St. Victor on the Walls. Probably it was used by Robert Estienne in his Editio Regia and was designed by him as ιδ'.[7] The manuscript was examined by Griesbach.[8]
It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 185), at Paris.[9]
