History
The manuscript once belonged to Thomas Goade († 1638), then to James Ussher. In 1702 it was presented together with minuscule 61 and 63 to Trinity College in Dublin (together with the codices 61 and 63).[2] Then towards to the end of the 17th century it belonged to one John Jones.[3] In 1880 Dean Burgon found the manuscript in the library of the Marquis of Bute (Marquess of Bute, Ms. 82 G. 18/19).[3] It was collated, like 63, by Dodwell, and examined by Mill.[3]
It is currently housed at the Schøyen Collection (Ms 230), at Oslo.[1]
