History
editThe manuscript belonged to the metropolitan of Ephesus Neophytus in 1481. It was bought for the library in "Gallicio" in 1624.[4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4] The text of the Apocalypse was collated by Herman C. Hoskier.[6]
Formerly it was labeled by 140a, 215p, and 74r. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 617 to it.[1]
The manuscript currently is housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. Z. 546 (786)), at Venice.[2]
