History

The manuscript was used by Walton in his Polyglot, and by Mill in his Novum Testamentum (as N. 2). Walton erroneously described it, and after him by Wettstein, as a part of the codex 58, which is a much later manuscript. It was examined by Dobbin. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883. Formerly it was labelled by 37a and 43p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 327 to it. The manuscript is currently housed at the New College (59) at Oxford.
