The manuscript here reproduced was written in the year 1022, and is now in
the Ambrosian Library at Milan.
It contains the Gospels only, and its official designation in the list of New
Testament MSS. is Evan.348.
The page of which the upper half is here produced, on the same scale as the original,
contains the beginning of St. Luke's Gospel.
Its text is of no special interest; it is simply an average specimen of the Greek
Gospels current in the Middle Ages, in the beautiful Greek writing of the eleventh
century.
