The codex contains the complete text of the four Gospels on 287 parchment leaves (size 20.5 cm by 16.5 cm). It is written in one column per page, 20 lines per page.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 240 sections – the last section in 16:19), with references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before every Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), liturgical books with hagiographies (Menologion, Synaxarion), and pictures (portraits of the four Evangelists).
It has many marginal corrections of the text.
