Description

edit

The codex contains the text of the four Gospel of Mark, with a commentary, on 141 parchment leaves (26 cm by 20 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 31-32 lines per page.[2]

There was not text's division according to the κεφαλαια (chapters) or Ammonian Sections in the original manuscript, but there were the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. Latin κεφαλαια (chapters) were added by a later hand.[3]

It contains table of the κεφαλαια (table of contents) before the text of the Gospel, pictures, a commentary of Victorinus[4] and scholia at the margin to the Catholic epistles. The text of the Catholic epistles is only in some passages.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[5]
