History
The manuscript was produced for Demetrios Palaiologos. It is dated by the INTF to the 15th century.
The manuscripts was examined and described by Eduard de Muralt (along with the codices 565-566, 568, 570-572, 574, and 1567), who made the first collation of its text. The manuscript was more thoroughly examined by Kurt Treu.
