few capitals in red. Each book is preceded by decorated headpieces. Text The Greek text of the Gospels has many of the Byzantine readings but its text is not entirely Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it as part of the textual family Kr, but it was not confirmed by Aland and Wisse. Aland did not place it in any category. According to the Claremont Profile Method it has an eclectic text in Gospel of Luke. In Luke 1 it has mixed Byzantine text, in Luke 10 it represents textual cluster Family Π200, and in Luke 20 it belongs to the textual family Kx. In the Acts its text is very close to the textual family 1739. According to Scrivener the variations from the text of majority are not numerous or remarkable. History Of the history of the codex 536 nothing is known until the year 1864. In 1864, the manuscript was purchased from a dealer at Janina in Epirus, by Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist, together with other Greek manuscripts (among them codices 532–546). They were transported to England in 1870/71. The manuscript was presented by Burdett-Coutts to Sir Roger Cholmely's School, and was housed at the Highgate (Burdett-Coutts II. 7), in London. It was examined and collated by Scrivener. In 1922 it was purchased for the library of the University of Michigan. The manuscript was described by K. W. Clark in 1937. It was added to the list of the New Testament minuscule manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (549) and C. R. Gregory (536). Gregory saw it in 1883. It is currently housed at the University of Michigan (Ms. Inv. No. 24) in Ann Arbor.
