Layout: 1 column, 24 lines. Script: Greek minuscules in brown ink, headings in dark red semi-uncials. Decoration: Two ornamental headpieces in pen and red ink. Binding: Modern wooden boards and light tan calf. Parchment cover linings. Provenance: Purchased through Lathrop Harper, 1 March 1929, from Joseph Martini. Martini (Lugano), Cat. 19, No. 16, 1929. Martini, from whom the fragment was purchased, ascribes its production to the monasteries of Mount Athos, Greece. However, a new, ongoing census of Greek Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Collections of the United States of America conducted by Dr. Nadezhda Kavrus-Hoffmann suggests an Italian origin. Sixty additional leaves of this manuscript are held by Columbia University (Plimpton MS 002).
