The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium), on 202 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (31 cm by 25 cm).[1] 12 leaves at the end were supplied by two later hands. The supplied leaves, except one on paper, are palimpsest (1-4, 105–106, 229–232, 399–404).[2][3] It contains Menologion at the end.[4]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 25 lines per page. The manuscript contains weekday Gospel lessons.[5][6] The ink is brown. There are a headpieces, decorated initial letters, and music notes.[3]
According to J. Rendel Harris it is "somewhat roughly written, but containing a better text than 2h".[7]
According to Edward A. Guy it is only one manuscript which in Luke 7:6 agrees with Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus in omitting of προς αυτον (to Him).[2] This omission is also supported by Papyrus 75, 892, 1241, and several other manuscripts.[8]
C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century.[1] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 14th century.[5][6]
Edward Everett, an American educator (who later became famous as a politician, diplomat, and orator), bought the manuscript in 1819 during his first visit in Greece, along with six other Greek manuscripts.[9] Everett used any opportunity of searching for Greek manuscripts.[2]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Caspar René Gregory (number 298e). Scrivener catalogued this manuscript as 485e on his list.[4]
The manuscript was examined by Edward A. Guy, who designated it by siglum 3h (Lectionary 296 received siglum 1h).[4] Herman C. Hoskier[2] and Emilie Boer examined and described the manuscript.[10]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[11]
The codex is housed at the Houghton Library (MS. Gr. 12) in the Harvard University.[5][6]
