The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels with a commentary on 426 parchment leaves (31.8 cm by 23.7 cm).[1] Written stichometrically in one column per page. Initial letters in gold,[2] it contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian tables, prolegomena, lists of κεφαλαια, κεφαλαια, τιτλοι, Ammonian Sections (Mark 233), Eusebian Canons, subscriptions, στιχοι, and pictures (made by hand of John Prochorus).[3]

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4]
History
It once belonged to Jan Parrhassius, then to Antonio Seripandi, then to the monastery of St. John de Carbonaria in Naples.[2] It was examined by Treschov, Birch, Alter, Scholz, and Burgon.[3] Alter used it in his edition of the Greek text of the New Testament.[5]
Formerly it was held at the Imperial Library in Vienna (Suppl. Gr. 6). Currently it is housed at the Biblioteca Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III (Cod. Neapol. ex Vind. 3) at Naples.[1]
