The manuscript once belonged to the Jesuits Collegium in Paris as a gift from Octavio Bulgarini. Then belonged to Barberini. Minuscule 849 (17th century) probably was rewritten from this manuscript.[5]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (729e)[6] and Gregory (850e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]
Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Barb. gr. 504), in Rome.[3][4]
