Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 215 parchment leaves (size 19 cm by 14 cm) with lacunae (John 10:1-11:38; 11:39-57; 12:25-13:1; 15:26-16:15). The writing is in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[2]

It contains tables of the κεφαλαια before each Gospel and portraits of the four Evangelists.[3]

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[4] Aland placed it in Category V.[5] According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 10 (cluster with codex 281), in Luke 20 it creates cluster with the code 585, in Luke 1 it has mixed text.[4]

History

The manuscript came from Karahissar. Titoff, Russian envoy in Turkey, purchased this manuscript and presented it to the Imperial Library in Petersburg.[3]

The manuscripts was examined, described, and collated by Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568-572, 575, and 1567). The manuscript was also examined by Kurt Treu.

Currently the manuscript is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 105) in Saint Petersburg.[2]
