Notes

Revilla-Andrés 339.
Nota Antiqua y.iii.16.
Miller no. 336.
Iter Psellianum nos. 167sq.

Some water damage to bottom and spine. Dual foliation in at least part of the codex: for example, fols. 383-428 and 428-450 correspond to old (crossed out) 334-379 and 379-401.

Fine scholarly hand, neat, legible, controlled and quite attractive; the usual abbreviations; about 25 lines per page. Small margins with few notes (ex. gr. 427v/428r, 430r [olim 378v/379r, 321r]). Table of contents by “Nicolás de la Torre” (Νικόλαος Τουρριανός of Crete [V&G 358sq.], see “Escorial Copyist” in online resources).
