History

Birch dated the manuscript to the 14th century, Gregory to the 15th century. Presently the INTF dated it to the 15th century.[2]

Amelotte quoted several of its readings. These readings were used by Wettstein.[8] The manuscript was examined by Birch (about 1782), and Scholz. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]

The text of Apocalypse was collated by Hoskier.

It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Pal. gr. 171), at Rome.[2]
