Description edit

The codex contains the text of the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Luke on 164 parchment leaves (size 23.8 cm by 15.5 cm),[3] with one lacuna (Matthew 1:1-12:33). The text of Luke 1:1-5 was supplied by a later hand.[1] The text is written in one column per page, 40-50 lines per page.[3]

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 no other division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[6]

It has a commentary,[3] and portrait of Evangelist Matthew.[5]

Partially it is a palimpsest (leaves 49-164). The earlier text is written in uncial script. It contains Homilies of Saint Basil.[6]

The manuscript is now housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 196) in Paris.[3][4]
