There is also a division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 sections, the last in 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).[3]
It contains prolegomena to the Gospel of John, Synaxarion, Menologion, and pictures.[3]

History
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[6]
The manuscript was bought from Spyridion Lambros from Athens in 1859, along with 22 other manuscripts of the New Testament (codices: 269, 271, 272, 688, 689, 690, 691, 692, 693, etc.).
Scholz examined a large part of the manuscript. Minuscule 270 was examined by Dean Burgon. It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[7] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.[3]
Formerly the manuscript was held in the library of St. Silvester in Rome.[3] The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 75) at Paris.[2]
