Description
The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 308 parchment leaves (size 14.7 cm by 11.7 cm) with only one lacuna (Matthew 16:2-17). The text is written in one column per page, 17-24 lines per page.[2]
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and some τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. The is no another division according to the Ammonian Sections with references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
It contains prolegomena, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, and numbered στιχοι.[3][4]
Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden included it to the Kx group.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made.[5]
History
The manuscript was written by several hands.[3] In 1727 the manuscript came from Constantinople to England and was presented to archbishop of Canterbury, William Wake, together with the manuscripts 73, 74, 506-520. Wake presented it to the Christ Church College in Oxford.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament minuscule manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (505) and C. R. Gregory (519).[4] Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]
It is currently housed at the Christ Church (Wake 39) in Oxford.[2]
