Formerly the manuscript was known as Codex Seldeni 5. It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Wettstein.[4][5] The codex was examined by Mill and Griesbach. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[2]

The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[6]
