The text of the codex was merely examined by Bengel, Matthaei, and Scholz.[2] It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Bengel. Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 10th century.[2][3]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[4]
