Description

The codex contains almost complete text of the four Gospels on 256 parchment leaves (size 20.5 cm by 14.8 cm),[2] with the average dimensions of the text 15 cm by 10.5 cm.[3] Some texts were defects and were supplied in the 15th century on six paper leaves by later hands with texts of Matthew 1:1-6:2; Luke 13:15-14:20, 18:8-19:9, John 16:25-end.[4]

The text is not divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), but there are τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234, 16:9) but added by later hand, with references to Eusebian Canons.[4]

It contains the Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), numbers of στιχοι, and numbers of ρηματα. Synaxaria and Menologion were added by a later hand.[5]

The codex contains supplementary leaves in Matthew, Luke, and John. The supplementary leaves of Luke 13:35-14:20 and 18:8-29 are palimpsest on parchment, the underwriting contains the Psalms.[3]

The hand is not neat, but readable.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Caesarean text-type. It belongs to the textual Family 1. Aland placed it in Category III.Aland, Kurt; Barbara Aland; Erroll F. Rhodes (trans.) (1995). The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism. Grand Rapids: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. p. 129. ISBN 978-0-8028-4098-1.  As a member of the f1 has a close affinity to the codices 205 and 209. They together constitute a sub-group within this family.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method 118 is a core of Family 1.[7]

History

The manuscript was donated by Narcissus March († 1713), Archbishop of Armagh, to the Bodleian Library.[3]

It was well collated by Griesbach.[5] According to Griesbach the text of this manuscript is a representative of the Alexandrian textual recension.[8] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]

The manuscript was examined by Kirsopp Lake.

It is currently housed at the Bodleian Library (Auct. D. inf. 2.17), at Oxford.[2]
