The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are given at the margin. It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin, and incipits. The words are often ill divided and the stops misplaced (as in minuscule 80).{{Cite book | last = Scrivener | first = Frederick Henry Ambrose | author-link = Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener |author2=Edward Miller | title = A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament | publisher = George Bell & Sons | year = 1894 | location = London | edition = 4 | page = 223 | volume = 1

The text often agrees with D, K, 33, Philoxenian Syriac. Hermann von Soden lists it as Is (along with codices 157, 245, 291, 713, 1012), but Soden examined it only in the Gospel of John.
History
The manuscript was written by the hand of Philothens, a monk. It was bought at Venice by Friedrich Rostgaard in 1699. It was examined by C. G. Hensler (1784) and Charles Graux (1878). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1878 and in 1891.
It is currently housed at the Det Kongelige Bibliotek (GkS 1323, 4) at Copenhagen.
