History

edit

F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 10th century,[6] C. R. Gregory dated it to the 12th century.[5] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4]

The manuscript once belonged to the Jesuits' Collegium in Paris as a gift from Octavio Bulgarini. Then it belonged to Barberini. Minuscule 849 (17th century) probably was rewritten from this manuscript.[5]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (729e)[6] and Gregory (850e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 504), in Rome.[3][4]
