History
The manuscript was examined by Scholz, who collated it loosely. It was collated again by Tischendorf in 1843 and Tregelles in 1846. In 1850 Tischenforf and Tregelles compared their collations for mutual correction.
According to Burgon: "In my judgement... scarcely letter".
The codex is located, in the Biblioteca Estense (Gr. 196) in Modena.
