History edit
The manuscript was written by calligrapher Angelus Vergecius, from whose skill arose the expression "he writes like an angel".[6] Probably it was rewritten from printed text of the Greek New Testament.[2] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852).[7] It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[8] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1885.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 123.124) at Paris.[2]
