History
The manuscript was inadequately cited by Constantin von Tischendorf. The codex was acquired by Braithwaite, who described it in Expository Times in 1901. Gregory extracts from the collation of Braithwaite. According to von Soden, the manuscripts belongs to Ik-text. Kirsopp Lake found that this manuscript shares traits with Family Π.
According to Metzger this manuscript "deserves to be studied more thoroughly than has hithero been the case".
The codex is located in the Cambridge University Library (additional manuscripts 6594).
