Note:

Incomplete at the beginning and end. The text comprises Pss 9.15-106.40.
Written by one scribe in a medium-sized calligraphic upright archaizing minuscule hand. The ms. is similar in style to the Palaeologina group but displays less calligraphy and more modest decoration.
On f. 82v there is an unfinished miniature of David (?). Fr. 83v has an illuminated headpiece and initial letter.
The 21 quires are bound in the wrong order. The correct order is 1-9 14-15 13 12 11 10 16-19 21 20.
Bound in 1914 in half brown morocco and marbled paper over boards.
In a tray case, 19 cm.
