Menologion), and subscriptions at the end of each biblical book.[3]
The illuminations are given before each book.

History

The manuscript was written by Antonius, a monk.[3] According to the colophon the manuscript was written by Antonios of Malaka in 1244. Dating of the manuscript is problematic, possibly the colophon was not inserted by original scribe. It was examined by Scrivener and Gregory (1883).[3]

Formerly it was labeled by 223a and 277p.

C. R. Gregory gave number 223 for it.[1]

It is currently housed at the University of Michigan Library (Ms. 34), at Ann Arbor, Michigan.[2][7]
