Description
[edit]The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium),[1] on 196 parchment leaves. The leaves are measured (21.7 cm by 14.6 cm). Some leaves of the codex at the end were lost.[2][3] It was written by several hands.[4]
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in one column per page, 19-20 lines per page.[2][3] It has not musical notes.[1]
The codex contains weekday Gospel lessons from Easter to Pentecost and Saturday/Sunday Gospel lessons for the other weeks.[2]
On folio 66 there is a note in red ink recording the work of a certain Makarios, monk and priest, also called Zographos.[5] The note states:
- Μακάριος Μοναχὸς ἀμάρτολος ἱερεὺς
- οὗτος τὸ ἐπήκλην ζογράφος διὰ σινεργασίας
- Καὶ μόχθου ἐπ(λ)ιρόθη ἡ βήβλο(ς) αὔτι.
