Summary
This manuscript is a hagiological miscellany of accounts and sayings of desert monks of the third through fifth centuries, with the Historia Lausiaca of Palladius comprising about half the volume. Text is missing at the beginning, in the middle (after fol. 48), and at the end. The manuscript is written in Greek minuscule on paper whose watermark suggests a date of the second quarter or middle of the fourteenth century, and it is decorated simply with red initials and geometric headbands in brown and red ink.
