The codex contains a complete text of the Acts of the Apostles, General epistles, and Pauline epistles, 216 parchment leaves (15 by 10 cm). Written in one column per page, 27 lines per page.[1] Written on a parchment in an elegant minuscule. It contains short introduction to the books.[2]

History of the codex
The manuscript belonged to the Preaching Friars, then to Amerbach, a printer of Basle.[2]
This codex was used by Desiderius Erasmus in his first edition of his Novum Testamentum (1516). In result its readings became a basis for the Textus Receptus. Erasmus grounded on this copy, and he calls it exemplar mire castigatum. His binder cut off a considerable part of the margin.[2]
It was examined by Mill, Battier, and Wettstein.[2]
NA27 cited it only in 1 Cor 11,23.[7]
The codex is located now at the Basel University Library (Cod. A.N.IV.4), at Basel.[1]
