The text is written in one column per page, 29 lines per page.[3][4][5] It has decorated head-pieces. According to Scrivener it is a beautiful copy.[6]
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.[5][6]
It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel (added later hand).[5]
