Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century.[3][4] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 13th 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 I. 23), in London.[4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 241) and Gregory (number 217). Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[7]
Currently the owner of the codex is unknown. The last place if its housing was Sotheby's.[1][2]
