History
The manuscript came from Byzantium. According to the subscription it was given in 1439 to the Library of Canons Regular at Verona by Dorotheus Archbishop of Mitylene, when he came to the Council of Florence in 1438. The manuscript once belonged to Jean Hurault de Boistaillé (like codices 9, 203, 263, 301, 306, 314). Then it belonged to Archbishop of Reims Le Tellier (1671–1710), like codices 11, 13.
It was used by Ludolph Küster in his edition of the Greek New Testament (as Paris 1).
It was examined by Griesbach and Scholz. Scholz examined only texts of Mark 1-4 and John 5-8. It was examined and described by Paulin Martin. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1885.
The codex now is located at the National Library of France (Gr. 91) at Paris.
