Description edit

The codex contains 23 verses of the Gospel of Luke (9:35-47; 10:12-22), on two parchment leaves (25 cm by 18 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, 23 lines per page, in uncial letters.[3]

It contains music notes in red; it has accents and breathings, but not always. All the stops are expressed by a single point, whose position makes no difference in its significance.[4] The original codex contained the text of the four Gospels on 190 leaves.[5]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons. It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use).[4]

The uncial letters are firmly written, delta and theta being of the ordinary oblong shape of that period.[4]

Survived two leaves of the codex were included to the Lectionary 88.

Text edit

The Greek text of this codex is a mixture of text-types. Aland placed it in Category III.[3]

In Luke 10:12-22 the text of the manuscript 15 times differs from the Textus Receptus from the Elzevier edition.[5]

It was not examined according to the Claremont Profile Method.[6]

History edit

Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 9th or 10th-century.[3][7]

The codex was adapted to the Church use, but it is not a Lectionary. This fragment was brought to light by Scholz. It was at the end of another book. The text was published by Constantin von Tischendorf in Monumenta sacra inedita (1846).[4]

The codex is currently located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 314, ff. 179, 180), in Paris.[3]
