The manuscript once belonged to Arsenius, Archbishop of Monembasia, in the Morea (as Lectionary 113), then to Gabriel, metropolitan of Philadelphia. At the end of the 16th century it came to Italy.^[3] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).^[5] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.^[3]
