Description
The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book), containing the text of the four Gospels on 405 parchment leaves (17.6 by 19.2 cm), with some missing portions (Matthew 20:18-26, 21:45-22:9, Luke 10:36-11:2, 18:25-37, 20:24-26, John 11:26-48, 13:2-23, 17:1-12).[2] It is one of only two known purple minuscules (minuscule 1143 is the other), written with gold ink.[4] The text is written in one column per page, 17 lines per page.[2] The text is divided according to the chapters (known as κεφαλαια / kephalaia), whose numbers are given in the margin, and the titles of the chapters (known as τιτλοι / titloi) written at the top of the pages in silver ink. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, though no references to the Eusebian Canons (both being early methods of divinding the Gospels into sections, with the Eusebian being based on the Ammonian).[5]
It contains the Eusebian tables, which were added by later hand. The tables of contents (also known as κεφαλαια) are placed before each of the four Gospels. It has the famous Jerusalem Colophon.[3][5]
The manuscript is similar to Beratinus 2 (Minuscule 1143).

History
The manuscript comes from the area of the Black Sea, in Pontus. In 1829 it was brought to Saint Petersburg. The manuscript was examined and described by Eduard de Muralt,[13] along with the codices 566, 568-572, 574, 575, and 1567. The text of Mark was edited in 1885 by Johannes Engebretsen Belsheim.[14]
