History

According to C. R. Gregory the manuscript was written in the 10th century.[5] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 10th century.[4]

It was described by Montana, who sent description to Kelly.[8]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (208a)[8] and Gregory (236a, 126r).[5] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 920 to it.[1]

It is currently housed in the Biblioteca de El Escorial (Ψ. III. 18) in Escurial.[3][4]
