| == Description ==
| |
| The text is written in two columns per page, 25 lines per page, in large uncial letters.<ref name = Gregory/> It has not breathings and accents. The letters are similar to those of codices [[Codex Tischendorfianus II|081]], [[Codex Petropolitanus Purpureus|022]], and [[Codex Guelferbytanus A|024]], only that they are somewhat irregular and straggling.<ref name = Gregory>{{cite book

| It is a [[palimpsest]], the upper text contains the Syriac treatise [[Severus of Antioch]] against Johannes Grammaticus written in the 8th or 9th century. The lower text of the same manuscript contains the ''[[Iliad]]'' and the [[Gospel of Luke|Gospel of St Luke]], both of the sixth century, and the ''[[Euclid's Elements]]'' of the seventh or eighth century.<ref name = Gregory/>
| |
| | |
| The manuscript contains the tables of the {{lang|grc|κεφαλαια}} (''tables of contents'') before each Gospel, the Pseudo-Ammonian Sections, but no references to the [[Eusebian Canons]].<ref name = Gregory/>

| == Text of the codex ==
| |
| The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the [[Byzantine text-type]] in a very early stage, with a large portion of non-Byzantine readings. [[Kurt Aland|Aland]] gave for it the following textual profile - 11<sup>1</sup> 4<sup>1/2</sup> 0<sup>2</sup> 5<sup>s</sup>. Aland placed it in [[Categories of New Testament manuscripts#Category V|Category V]].<ref name = Aland/> According to the [[Claremont Profile Method]] it belongs to the textual family [[Family Kx|K<sup>x</sup>]] in Luke 1 and Luke 10; in Luke 20 it has mixed text.<ref>F. Wisse, ''The profile method for the classification and evaluation of manuscript evidence, as Applied to the Continuous Greek Text of the Gospel of Luke'', ''[[William B. Eerdmans Publishing]]'', 1982, p. 52.</ref>

| In Luke 6:2 — οὐκ ἔξεστιν (''not lawful'') for οὐκ ἔξεστιν ποιεῖν (''not lawful to do''); the reading is supported only by [[Papyrus 4|<math>\mathfrak{P}</math><sup>4</sup>]], [[Codex Vaticanus]], ([[Codex Bezae]]), [[Minuscule 700|700]], lat, cop<sup>sa</sup>, cop<sup>bo</sup>, arm, geo;<ref>NA26, p. 170.</ref>

| It lacks the text of [[Christ's agony at Gethsemane|Luke 22:43-44]].<ref>NA26, p. 232.</ref>

| == History ==
| |
| Formerly it belonged to the [[monastery of St. Mary Deipara]] in the [[Wadi El Natrun|Nitrian Desert]]. In 1847 along with the other 550 manuscripts (e.g. [[British Library Manuscript, Add. 14448|Add. 14448]]) it was brought to England.<ref name = Gregory/>
| |
| | |
| The fragments of Luke were independently transcribed, both by Tregelles in 1854, and by Tischendorf in 1855, who afterwards re-examined the places wherein he differed from Tregelles (e.g. Luke 8:5; 18:1.10).<ref name = Scrivener>{{cite book
