History

The manuscript once belonged to Cardinal Bessarion (as codices 205, 354). In 1722 it was in the hands of Hieronymus Venerius.[3] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[6] It was examined by Burgon. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. Z. 28) in Venice.[2]
