Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 236 parchment leaves (size 19.7 cm by 15.1 cm),[3][6] with numerous lacunae.[3]

Lacunae

Matthew 1:1-14). 17-20; 1:24-2:2; 28:15-20; Mark 1:6.7; Luke 1:6.7; 8:25-37; 24:30-53; John 1:1-3.9-14; 18:23-21:25.[6]

The text is written in one column per page, 22-23 lines per page,[3] in gold letters.[5]

It contains the tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel. The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, the last section in 16:8), whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[6] It contains lectionary markings, Synaxarion, and Menologion. The original manuscript contained pictures. They were cut out.[5]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family K1.[7] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[8]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1,Luke 10, and Luke 20.[7]

The texts of Matthew 16:2b–3 and John 5:4 are marked by an obelus.[6]

History

Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[4]

The manuscript was brought by John Hext from Corfu in 1878, and given by him to Daniel Parsons, who gave it to the college as a "join gift".[5]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (617) and Gregory (711). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.[6]

At present the manuscript is housed at the Bodleian Library (Oriel College, Ms. 83) in Oxford.[3][4]
