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 once belonged to the private collection of the Earl of Leicester (104) along with Minuscule 683.[6]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscript by Scrivener (1146) and Gregory (684).[5]
Actually the manuscript is housed at the Bodleian Library (Holkham Gr. 64), Oxford.[3][4]
