The codex contains the text of the Pauline epistles, on 387 parchment pages with only one lacunae. Manuscript ends on Hebr 12:18. It is written in one column per page, 28-32 lines per page.[1] The text is written on a parchment in minuscule. It contains notes and glosses.

The Greek text of the Gospels is a representative of the Byzantine text-type.[2] Hermann von Soden classified it as Ifb (together with minuscules 115, 179, 267, 659, 827). Aland placed it in Category V.[3] It is close to the textual family Kx.

History of the codex

The codex is located now at the Basel University Library (Cod. A. N. III. 11), in Basel.[1][4]
