Description
The codex contains a complete text of the Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles, and the Book of Revelation on 292 parchment leaves (size 22.3 cm by 16.5 cm). It has some lacunae in the (Acts 1:1-20, Revelation 6:14-8:1, 22:19-21).
The text is written in one column per page, in 23 lines per page.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.
It contains Prolegomena to Paul, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), subscriptions at the end of each book, and numbers of στιχοι. It has a commentary of Theophylact. The codex survived in poor condition, and its text is often illegible.

History
The manuscript was brought by Covel from Sinai to England (along with minuscule 65). Covel marked it as codex 5, but afterwards gave it the name of the Sinai manuscript.
It is currently housed at the British Library (Harley 5778), at London.
It was examined by Mill, Bloomfield (in Acts and Paul). Scrivener collated text of the Apocalypse. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.
Formerly it was labelled as 28a, 34p, 8r. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 110 to it.
Former 110
In his numeration Wettstein designated by siglum 110 the Codex Ravianus (also called Berolinensis), a transcript from the Complutensian Polyglotte so slavish that it copies even typographical errors from that exemplar. It also includes some variant readings inserted from Stephanus's edition. It once belonged to Rave, a professor in Uppsala.
In 1908 Gregory removed the Codex Ravianus from the list of the Greek New Testament manuscripts. It is no longer listed, because it is only a facsimile of the Complutensis Polyglotte. It is housed in the Berlin State Library.
