History
_f.43v.jpg)
It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 15th century.[1][2] According to the colophon the manuscript was written in 1437, April 28, by Presbyter George.[4][3]
Of the history of the codex nothing is known until 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.[3] 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 III. 43), in London.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 248)[4] and Gregory (number 225). Gregory saw it in 1883.[3] In 1922 it was acquired for the University of Michigan.[7] The manuscript was digitalized by the CSNTM in 2008.[8]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[9]
Currently the codex is housed at the University of Michigan (Ms. 29) in Ann Arbor.[1][2]
