Description
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 439 elegant parchment leaves (size 14.3 cm by 11.3 cm). The text is written in one column per page, in 17 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. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections – the last section in 16:9), but without references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical reading) and pictures. The text of Mark 16:8-20 is omitted.
