Historyedit
The manuscript was dated by Scrivener and Gregory to the 12th or 13th century.[3][4] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 12th century.[1][2]
According to the inscriptions the manuscript once belonged to the Church of the Saint George, presented by one Nicetas, and afterwards it belonged to the Monastery of Prodromus.[5] The manuscript once belonged to Caesar de Missy, chaplain to George III, in 1747 (along with the codices 560, 561, ℓ162, ℓ239, ℓ241).[4] Then it belonged to William Hunter. The Hunter's collection remained in London for several years after his death – for the use of his nephew, Matthew Baillie (1761-1823) – and finally came to the Glasgow University in 1807.[6]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 231) and Gregory (number 240). Gregory saw it in 1883.[4] The manuscript has been exhibited on the following occasion: "Treasures of Scottish Libraries", in National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, 1961.[5]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[7]
