According to the colophon the manuscript was written in 1108 by Kallistrus, a monk.[7] According to the CSNTM it was written in 1107.[3] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[5]

In 1554 it belonged to Demetrius.[7] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[7]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (198a, 280p)[9] and Gregory (225a, 280p).[7] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 909 to it.[1]

It was held in Cheltenham (Phillipps 7681).[7]
