== History ==
''Codex Boreelianus'' is named after Johannes Boreel (1577-1629), Dutch Ambassador at the Court of [[James I of England]], who brought the codex to the Netherlands from a journey to the East.<sup>[4]</sup> The connection to Boreel is indicated by [[Johann Jakob Wettstein|Wettstein]], who was given a partial collation of the codex in 1730. After Boreel's death, the codex itself was in private hands. Its leaves were disordered, and some of them were lost. It resurfaced in 1823 and was identified as the Boreelianus by the Utrecht professor Jodocus Heringa (1765-1840). In 1841 [[Constantin von Tischendorf|Tischendorf]] wanted to see and examine the codex, but it was did not allowed to him.<sup>[2]</sup> Since 1830, the codex has been located in [[Utrecht University]] (Univ. Bibl. Ms. 1).<sup>[1]</sup>
