The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page.[3][4] The biblical text is surrounded by a catena, the commentary is of Cyril's authorship.[5][6] TextThe Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Alexandrian text-type.[7] Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category.[8] HistoryF. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 10th century,[6] C. R. Gregory dated it to the 12th century.[5] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4] The manuscript once belonged to the Jesuits' Collegium in Paris as a gift from Octavio Bulgarini. Then it belonged to Barberini. Minuscule 849 (17th century) probably was rewritten from this manuscript.[5] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (729e)[6] and Gregory (850e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5] Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 504), in Rome.[3][4] See alsoReferences
