The codex contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles and Book of Revelation with only one lacunae (Titus 3:3 - Philemon), on 169 elegant parchment leaves (size 25 cm by 19.1 cm).[1][2] Written in one column per page, in 26-32 lines per page.[1] It contains Prolegomena, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, subscriptions, στιχοι, Menologion, and Euthalian apparatus.[3] Apocalypse was added in the 15th century.[2]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Caesarean text-type in Gospels and Epistles.[4] The text of the Apocalypse is a representative of the Byzantine. Aland placed it in Category V. The text of the rest of book Aland placed in Category III.[5]
History
The manuscript was given by Christina — like codices 154, 155, 156[2] — to Alexander VIII (1689-1691).[3] The text of the manuscript was examined by Bandini, Birch, Scholz, and Burgon.
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Reg. gr. 179), at Rome.[1]
