Text
Aland did not place it in any Category.[4] According to Black it represents the Alexandrian text-type.[5] According to Wisse in Luke 1; 10; 20 it is very close to Codex Tischendorfianus III.[6] The pericope Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is marked by obelus.[2]
History
The subscription states that it was written by Leo, a priest and caligrapher, in October 1193, and bought in 1168 by Bartholomeus, who compared it with ancient Jerusalem manuscripts on the sacred mount.[3]
It was examined by Birch and Scholz (1794-1852).
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Barberini gr. 319), at Rome.[1]
