History

According to F. H. A. Scrivener and C. R. Gregory it was written in the 12th century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (703e),[6] Gregory (878e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

It was examined and described by Ernesto Feron and Fabiano Battaglini (like minuscule 386 and 880).[9]
