[2] Biblical scholar and textual critic Frederick H. A. Scrivener labelled it by number 511.
[4] It contains the tables of contents (also known as κεφαλαια) before Luke and John, lectionary markings at the margin, the liturgical book known as the Synaxarion (a list of saint's days), however due to what appears to be several missing leaves at the end, the Menologion (a list of readings to be read each calendar month) is not extant.
[4] According to Scrivener it was "shamefully ill written, torn and much mutilated", but it has "valuable readings by far the most important at Lambeth".
[3] The manuscript was examined by J. Farrer in 1804, along with scholars Burney, Scrivener, and Gregory in later years.
Burney noticed: "Mendis erratisque ita scatet, ut scriptorum imperitiae et oscitantiae luculentissimum fiat argumentum" (Mistakes and errors abound in such a way that it becomes the clearest evidence of the writers' incompetence and sloppiness).
[6] This opinion was supported by Scrivener: "I certainly never met with a copy of the Gospels written with such irreverent and scandalous negligence, but this is only one instance out of a thousand of the danger of judging hastily from first appearances".
