History

According to F. H. A. Scrivener and C. R. Gregory it was written in the 16th century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 16th century. Probably it was rewritten from minuscule 853.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (704e), Gregory (879e). Gregory saw it in 1886.

It was examined and described by Ernesto Feron and Fabiano Battaglini (like minuscule 878) and 880).

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Ottob. gr. 100), in Rome.
