This 13th century Byzantine manuscript contains a great number of
scholia, which partially complete those of older manuscripts and
which testify to the environment during production and to the
habits of the manuscript’s annotators and successive owners. To
be distinguished among these are Theodorus Meliteniota, who
restored and completed the already damaged manuscript in the 14th
century, as well as Henri Estienne (Henricus Stephanus), who owned
the manuscript in the second half of the 16th century and used it
for his 1566 edition of Homer’s poems, which remained the
standard into the 18th century. With the exception of several
accidental short lacunas or gaps, the manuscript contains a
complete Iliad, including an interlinear paraphrase for the first
twelve books.
