Description[]

The codex was written on 160 thick parchment leaves (37.5 cm by 25.5 cm), however has survived in a fragmentary condition. The text was written in two columns, 45 lines per page,[1] in small, upright uncial letters, by a "very elegant" hand[3] with breathing marks, accents and some compressed letters. The codex contains portions of the four Gospels in the order of: John, Luke, Mark and Matthew, though the original order was Matthew, John, Luke and Mark, named the "Western Order". According to Gregory, "The bookbinder messed everything up".[2]

The text of the Gospels contains a patristic commentary (except Mark) written in minuscule letters.[2]

There are no divisions such as τίτλοι (titles), and the Ammonian sections and Eusebian Canons are absent. The texts of Matthew 16:2b–3 and John 7:53-8:11 are omitted.[2] Mark has the longer ending, but the word γάρ is missing at the end of Mk 16,8.

Text[]

The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type, with occasional readings deemed to be from the Alexandrian text-type. Aland gave it profile 1051, 381/2, 12, 11S and placed it in Category V.[1]

In Mark 9:49 it has the textual variant πας γαρ πυρι αλι αλισθησεται instead of πας γαρ πυρι αλισθησεται.[4]

History[]

The codex was held in Innsbruck in 1757. It has been in Rome, Ingolstadt (as a present from Gerard Vossius (1577–1649)), and in 1827 arrived in Munich.[2] Now the codex is located in the Munich University Library (fol. 30) in Munich.[1][5]

The codex was examined by Joseph Dobrovsky, who collated some of its readings for Johann Jakob Griesbach. Scholz collated it again, but wasn't a good collation. Tischendorf collated its text in 1844 and Tregelles in 1846. Burgon examined the manuscript in 1872.[2]
