History
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century, Gregory dated it to the 12th century.[3][4] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 11th century.[1][2]
Of the history of the codex nothing is known until the year 1864, when it was in the possession of a dealer at Janina in Epeiros. It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist,[5] along with other Greek manuscripts.[4] They were transported to England in 1870-1871.[6] The manuscript was presented by Burdett-Coutts to Sir Roger Cholmely's School, and was housed at the Highgate (Burdett-Coutts II. 5), in London.[4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 243) and Gregory (number 218). Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[7]
The owner of the codex is unknown. The last place of its housing was Sotheby's.[1][2]
