History edit

The manuscript was dated by F. H. A. Scrivener to the 10th century, but the Apocalypse to the 13th century,[3] C. R. Gregory dated it to the 13th or 14th century.[4] It was dated by the INTF to the 13th century.[2]

The manuscript was slightly examined by Scholz, Reiche and C. R. Gregory (1885). It was the last manuscript added it to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz. It was examined and described by Paulin Martin.[6] Herman C. Hoskier collated its text only for the Book of Revelation.

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz.[7] Formerly it was labeled by 119a, 139p, and 56r. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 469 to it.[1]

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 102A) in Paris.[2]
