The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886. The text of the Apocalypse was collated by Herman C. Hoskier.
Formerly it was labeled by 140a, 215p, and 74r. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 617 to it.
The manuscript currently is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. Z. 546 (786)), at Venice.
