Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 17th century.[1][2] Scrivener labelled it as 177^e,[3] Gregory by 271^e. Formerly it was known as Nanianus 222.[4] The manuscript has survived in a fragmentary condition.[1]

Description

The codex contains some lessons from the Gospel of Matthew (Evangelistarium).[4]

The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, on 11 paper leaves (17.9 cm by 13.8 cm), in one column per page, 23-24 lines per page.[1] Scrivener described the manuscript as "eleven poor leanes".[3]

History

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 15th century,[3] Gregory dated it to the 17th century.[4] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 17th century.[1][2]

The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[5]

Currently the codex is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. I.51 (1419)) in Venice.[1][2]
