History
Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century,[5] other palaeographers dated it to the 11th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]
The manuscript was brought from Corfu by Joseph Schirus, a monk, in 1729, and presented by him to the library in Grottaferrata. It was examined and described by Antonio Rocci in 1882.[9] It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (623)[6] and Gregory (825e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]
Currently the manuscript is housed at the Biblioteca della Badia (A' α. 2), in Grottaferrata.[3][4]
