History


The manuscript was written for the church in Constantinople.
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 14th century, Gregory dated it to the 13th century. It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 15th century.
Of the history of the codex nothing is known until 864, when it was in the possession of a dealer at Janina in Epeiros. It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist, along with other Greek manuscripts. They were transported to England in 1870-1871. The manuscript was presented by Burdett-Coutts to Sir Roger Cholmely's School, and was housed at the Highgate (Burdett-Coutts I. 23.2), in London.
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 242) and Gregory (number 218). Gregory saw it in 1883.
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).
The owner of the codex is unknown. The last place of its housing was Sotheby's.
