Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 286 parchment leaves (size 25 cm by 15.5 cm) with some lacunae (Matthew 1:20-2:13; 22:4-19; John 10:14-21:25).[2] The text is written in one column per page, in 24-26 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 also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, without references to the Eusebian Canons.[2]

It contains some pictures, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use) and αναγνωσεις (lessons) were added at the margin by a later hand.[2] The text of John 10:14-21:25 was added by a later hand.[4]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is mixed with a predominate element of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Iκ.[5] Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[6]

Scrivener stayed: "It has somewhat unusual text".[4]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1; 10; 20. It belongs also to the textual cluster 1053.[5]

History

Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 10th century.[2] Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 12th or 13th century.[3]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7] It was examined by Jac. Dermout. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1891.[2]

285 leaves of the codex are currently housed at the Leiden University Library (Gronovii 137) in Leiden.

The codex is cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (NA26).[8]

1 leaf of the codex (Matthew 22:4-19) was classified as minuscule 576 (Gregory-Aland), before it was identified as a part of the same codex as minuscule 435. Currently it is housed at the Arundel Castle and belongs to the Duke of Norfolk (M.D. 459).[3]
