History

Griesbach dated the manuscript to the 10th century. The manuscript once belonged to César de Missy. Jackson collated the text of the manuscript for Wettstein in 1748. It was examined by Griesbach and wrongly classified by him as a representative of the Alexandrian text-type. According to Scrivener it was held in the Earl of Winchelsea's Library, but in 1883 Earl of Winchelsea wrote to Gregory that he did not have any Gospel manuscripts. Currently the manuscript is housed in the Chester Beatty Library (Ms. W 135), in Dublin.
