It contains the Eusebian Canon tables, prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels, and pictures (in gold). The lectionary markings (for liturgical use) and incipits were added by a later hand. The Synaxarion and Menologion were added by a later hand.
