It is best known for its copy of the Pauline Epistles. It is particularly notable as one of the two such copies which display clear evidence of having had Claromontanus as exemplar (another is Uncial 0320).[1] It is now part of the National Library of Russia (Gr. 20) collection in Saint Petersburg.[2]

History
The manuscript was written by Latin scribe, who was unfamiliar with Greek.
The manuscript was examined and described by Bernard de Montfaucon, Johann Jakob Wettstein, and Johann Jakob Griesbach, who designated it by siglum E.[3]
The manuscript was held in the St. Germain des Prés at Paris. The St. Germain Library was suffered severely during the French Revolution, and Peter Dubrovsky, Secretary to the Russian Embassy at Paris acquired this manuscript together with many other manuscripts stolen from the ecclesiastical libraries.
The manuscript was examined by Bernard de Montfaucon, Johann Jakob Wettstein, Giuseppe Bianchini, and Johann Jakob Griesbach. In 1805 it was collated by Matthaei.[4]
