History

The manuscript once belonged to John Sambucky (together with codex 124). It was presented to Octavio Ferrari in Milano in 1562.^[2] It was examined by Treschow, Alter, Andrew Birch, and Burgon. Alter used it in his edition of the Greek New Testament (vol. 2, pp. 741-788). Birch collated some of its readings. Gregory saw it in 1887.^[2]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 313) in Vienna.^[1]
