History

The manuscript was brought from the Sinai peninsula by Constantin von Tischendorf.^[4]

The manuscript was examined and described by Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568, 570-571, 574, 575, and 1567), who did not examine any of its readings, then by Kurt Treu.

The manuscript belonged to the same codex as 1231, still housed at the Saint Catherine's Monastery (Gr. 194, 58 fol.).

Currently the manuscript is housed at the National Library of Russia (Gr. 91, fol. 19) in Saint Petersburg.^[2]
