Description
The codex originally contained a complete text of the New Testament on 200 parchment leaves ($$). It was written in two columns per page, in 56-58 lines per page. It was written by three different hands. However, it was mostly destroyed by fire at the Turin library in 1904, and only charred fragments remain.

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237 – last in 16:15), whose numbers are given at the margin with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).

It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables, tables of κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each book, Synaxarion, Menologion, the Eusebian apparatus (Acts, Cath., Paul), and other additional matter.

The order of book is typical for major Greek manuscripts: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles, Book of Revelation, but this order is not original.
