Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[8] It is only one known Greek copy to read in Luke 2:22 αὐτῆς with the Complutensian Polyglot.[9] The rest of Greek manuscripts have αὐτῶν. The form αὐτῆς is supported by Latin manuscripts.
History
Possibly it was used by editors of the Complutensian Polyglot. It was examined by John Mill, who "erroneously" called it uncial.[10] It was used by Alter in his edition of the Greek New Testament in 1786.[11]
It is currently housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 300), at Vienna.[12]
