History of the codex
The manuscript belonged to the Preaching Friars, then to Amerbach, a printer of Basle.[2]
This codex was used by Desiderius Erasmus in his first edition of his Novum Testamentum (1516). In result its readings became a basis for the Textus Receptus. Erasmus grounded on this copy, and he calles it exemplar mire castigatum. His binder cut off a considerable part of the margin.[2]
It was examined by Mill, Battier, and Wettstein.[2]
The codex is located now at the Basel University Library (Cod. A.N.IV.4), at Basel.
