Description edit

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with a commentary on 411 parchment leaves (size 19.5 cm by 13.5 cm).[2] The Gospel of Mark does not have a commentary.[3]

The text is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.[2][4]

The text is divided according to chapters (κεφαλαια), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their titles (τιτλοι) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, the last in 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written in the same line with Ammonian Section numbers).[5] It has some illustrations.[3]

Text edit

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden included it to the textual family Ab.[6] Kurt Aland placed the Greek text of the codex in Category V.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1, and Luke 20. In Luke 10 it has a mixture of the Byzantine families. It is close to Codex Athous Dionysiou.[6]

It lacks the text of Matthew 16:2b–3 (Signs of the times) (added by a later hand it in the margin) and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11).[5]

History edit

C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 9th or 10th century.[5] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 9th century.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Gregory (1080e). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[5] In 1908 Gregory gave it the siglum 1080.[1]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Great Lavra (A' 15), at Mount Athos.[2][4]
