Forms part of the Kenneth Willis Clark Collection of Greek Manuscripts (David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University)
Format: Manuscript codex.
Title supplied by cataloger.
Collation: Paper, fol. iv + 42 + iv ; 1⁸ 2-3¹⁰ 4⁸ 5⁶ ; quire numbers in Greek minuscules in the tail margin at the fore edge ; catchwords are under the last line of text at the gutter margin.
Layout: Written in 1 column of 31 lines.
Script: A small Italo-Greek minuscule hand, written rapidly, slanting to the right, using a dark brown ink and a fine pointed nib. Chapter headings are in well-defined uncials much as that found in stone. The words are separated. The hand is very fluid and a mixture of minuscule and uncial characters. The text on the page has a lacy effect due to the spacing between the lines and the fine small hand.
Decoration: Occasional penwork minims fill out the line at the end of the sections.
Title cataloged from existing description.
