The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 243 parchment leaves (14.8 cm by 10.6 cm). It is written in one column per page, in 21-22 lines per page.[2] It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel. It has a lot of later corrections.[3]
The text of the original codex was not divided, it was divided by a later hand. There are two systems of division. 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 Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]
The later hand marked church lessons at the beginning by incipits, for liturgical use.[3][4]
Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[5] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[6]
The manuscript was examined by Pasino, Scholz, and Burgon. It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Turin National University Library (B. VII. 16) in Turin.[2]
