It contains pictures and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel.[4] Many corrections were made in the 14th century.[5]
Kurt Aland the Greek text of the codex did not place in any Category.[6] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Πa in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 it represents family Kx.[7]
History edit
According to the colophon it was: Ετελειωθη το παρων βιβλιον δια χειρος βασιλειου νοταριου του Αργυροπουλου μηνι ιαννουαριω εις α. Νυ του ςχμ ετους.[3]
The manuscript was written by Basilius, a notary from Argyropolis, in 1140. In the 14th century someone corrected text of the codex in many places.[5]
It was described by Daniel Gotthilf Moldenhawer, who collated it about 1783 for Andreas Birch (Esc. 8).[4] Emmanuel Miller described it very briefly in 1848.[3]
It is currently housed at the Escurial (Cod. Escurialensis, X. IV. 21).[2]
