History

F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century, C. R. Gregory dated it to the 12th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 17th century.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (684e)[6] and Gregory (869e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Gr. 1996), in Rome.[3][4]
