The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Matthew 1:1-6:6, 7:25-8:9, 8:23-9:2, 28:18-Mark 1:13, Mark 14:19-25, Luke 1:1-13, 5:4-7:3, 8:46-9:5, 12:27-41, 24:41-end, John 18:5-19, 19:4-27).

The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons.

The Greek text of this codex is a secondary representative of the Byzantine text-type with many of the non-Byzantine readings seeming to be the Caesarean.

Aland gave to it textual profile 1761 871/2 42 21s and placed it in Category V.[2] Hermann von Soden classified it to the family Ki, but according to the Claremont Profile Method it belongs to the textual family Kx.

After his death in 1718 Maturin Veyssière de La Croze, royal librarian from Berlin acquired it and presented to Wolf,[6][7] who published extracts from its text in 1723.
