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 in Epeiros. It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist, [6] along with other Greek manuscripts. [5] 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. 52), in London. [5]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 250) and Gregory (number 227). Gregory saw it in 1883. [5] In 1922 it was acquired for the University of Michigan. The manuscript was described by K. W. Clark. [8]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3). [9]
The codex is housed at the University of Michigan (Ms. 32) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. [1] [2]
