The codex contains part of the Prophets of the Old Testament, and all the books of the New Testament (except Revelation of John), on 143 parchment leaves ({{×|37.5|24.8}}), with three lacunae in Gospel of Mark, and Gospel of Luke (Mark 9:31-11:11; 13:11-14:60; Luke 21:38-23:26).{{r|Gregory}}

The text is divided according to the {{lang|grc|κεφαλαια}} (chapters), whose numerals are given at the margin, and the τίτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.{{r|Gregory}}

It contains Prolegomena to the Catholic epistles and the Pauline epistles (folios 73-76), the Euthalian Apparatus.{{r|Gregory}}

It is written on a parchment in minuscule, in 1 column per page, 48-52 lines per page. Part of almost of every leaf has been destroyed by dampness. The leaves were joined so firmly to each other — especially in the Book of Acts — that when separated, a part of the ink has adhered to the opposite page.S. P. Tregelles, "An Introduction to the Critical study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures", London 1856, p. 210. Text is with errors of iotacism.{{Cite book

Scholz and Martin dated the manuscript to the 11th century. Gregory dated it to the 9th or 10th century.{{r|Gregory}} Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 9th century.{{Cite web |url=http://intf.uni-muenster.de/vmr/NTVMR/ListeHandschriften.php?ObjID=30033 |title=Liste Handschriften |publisher=Institute for New Testament Textual Research |access-date=20 March 2013 |location=Münster}}

It was called "the queen of the cursives" by J. G. Eichhorn (1752-1827),"Die Königin unter den Cursiv geschriebenen Handschriften" (J. G. Eichhorn, Einleitung in das NT, Bd. IV, Weidmannsche Buchhandlung, Leipzig 1827, S. 217.) but now it has several rivals (81, 892, 1175, 1739).[http://www.skypoint.com/members/waltzmn/Manuscripts1-500.html#m33 Minuscule 33] at the Encyclopedia of Textual Criticism The manuscript was examined by many scholars, such as Griesbach,J. J. Griesbach, [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_PqcUAAAAQAAJ Symbolae criticae ad supplendas et corrigendas variarum N. T. lectionum collectiones] (Halle, 1793), pp. 87-148 who collated its text in Matthew 1-18. It was also studied by Birch and others. The text of the codex was fully collated by S. P. Tregelles in 1850.{{r|Scrivener}} Tregelles said that, of all the manuscripts he collated (presumably excluding palimpsests), it was the hardest to read.

It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.Jean-Pierre-Paul Martin, Description technique des manuscrits grecs, relatifs au Nouveau Testament, conservés dans les bibliothèques des Paris (Paris 1883), p. 42-43 C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript twice, in 1884 and in 1885.

The manuscript was included to a critical apparatus by Kurt Aland in his 25th edition of Novum Testamentum Graece (1963).Michael W. Holmes, From Nestle to the `Editio Critica Maior`, in: The Bible as Book: The Transmission of the Greek Text, London 2003, p. 128. {{ISBN|0-7123-4727-5}}
