History

View on the monastery Dionysiou

According to the colophon it was written in 1133. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4] It was written by scribe named Theoklistus.[5] The codex 927 was seen by Gregory at the Dionysiou monastery (8), in Mount Athos.[5] Currently 279 folios of the manuscript are housed at the J. Paul Getty Museum (Ludw. II 4) Malibu and one folio is housed at the Paul Kanellopoulos Museum in Athens.[3][4] The leaf from Athens previously was cataloged as minuscule 2618.[3]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by C. R. Gregory (927e).[5] It was not on the Scrivener's list, but it was added to his list by Edward Miller in the 4th edition of A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament.[8]

It is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[9] NA28[10]).

Kirsopp Lake published facsimile of the codex.[11]
