According to the colophon it was written in 1133. Currently the manuscript is dated by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) to the 13th century. It was written by scribe named Theoklistus. The codex 927 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (8), in Mount Athos. 279 folios of the manuscript are housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum (Ludw. II 4) Malibu, California, and one folio is housed at the Paul Kanellopoulos Museum in Athens. The leaf from Athens used to be cataloged as minuscule 2618.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (927^e). It was not on the Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener's list, but it was added to his list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.

It is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4, NA28).
