History
Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century.[2] It is currently assigned by the INTF to the 14th century.[3][4] The name of the scribe is unknown.
Of the early history of the codex nothing is known until the year 1864, when it was in the possession of a dealer at Janina (Epeiros). It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), for one hundred pounds,[6] along with more than one hundred other Greek manuscripts.[2] They were transported to England in 1870-1871.[7] The manuscript was presented by Burdett-Coutts to Sir Roger Cholmely's School, and was housed at the Highgate (Burdett-Coutts III. 46), in London.[2]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 249) and Gregory (number 226). Gregory saw it in 1883.[2] In 1922 it was acquired for the University of Michigan.[8] The manuscript is now housed at the University of Michigan (Ms. 28) in Ann Arbor.[3][4]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[9]
