History


It is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.
The manuscript was given by Christina of Sweden to Cardinal Dezio Azzolino, and bought from him by Alexander VIII (1689-1691) — like codices 154, 155, 156. The text of the manuscript was examined by Bandini, Birch (about 1782), Scholz, and Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.
Formerly it was labelled by 40a, 46p, and 12r. Gregory in 1908 gave it the number 181.
It is currently housed at the Vatican Library (Reg. gr. 179), at Rome.
