The Greek text of the codex Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[8] It was not examined by the Claremont Profile Method.[9]

History

According to F. H. A. Scrivener it was written in the 13th century, according to C. R. Gregory in the 15th century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 15th century.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (707e, 708e, 709e),[6] Gregory (881e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]

It was examined and described by Ernesto Feron and Fabiano Battaglini.[7]

Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Ottobonianus gr. 453, 454, 455), in Rome.[3][4]
