The manuscript was written by Nicholas for bishop Stephanus from Ciscissa, in Cappadocia Prima. It was brought by Lord de la Zouche, from Caracalla at Mount Athos in 1837.[2] A note dated 1049 is subjoined by a reviser, who perhaps made the numerous changes in the text, and added two Lessons in cursive letters.[2]
The manuscript was collated by Scrivener, and slightly examined by Gregory in 1883.[3]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[4]
Currently the codex is located in the British Library, (Add. 39602) at London.[1]
