History
The colophon partially is illegible. Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 1303. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 1305 (?). The name of scribe was George.
Formerly the manuscript was held in Constantinople (Hellenikou Philologikou Sullogou 1). The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.
The manuscript currently is housed at the Turkish Historical Society (1), at Ankara.
