History
Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[4]
According to the colophon the manuscript was written by monk Gregorius in 1228. It once belonged to Giulio Giustiniani in Venice.[6] It was examined by Bernard de Montfaucon (Diarium Italicum, p. 433-437).
It was previously in the private collation of the Earl of Leicester at Holkham Hall, before it was purchased by the Bodleian Library in 1956.[6]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscript by Scrivener (1146) and Gregory (684).[5]
The manuscript is now housed at the Bodleian Library (Holkham Gr. 64) in Oxford.[3][4]
