History
It was examined by Scholz. Constantin von Tischendorf seems to have confused Lectionary 13 and 17 in his Novum Testamentum, Prolegomena (7th edition, p. CCXVI).
F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 12th-century, C. R. Gregory to the 9th century.
It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Johann Jakob Wettstein. It was examined and described by Scholz and Paulin Martin. Gregory saw it in 1884.
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).
Currently the codex is located in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 279) in Paris.
