History edit

Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century.[5] It is presently assigned to the 14th century on palaeographic grounds by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research.[3][6]

The manuscript belonged to Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza (1578–1651),[8][5] along with Minuscule 227. It was briefly described by Emmanuel Miller in 1848.[4]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Gregory (819e).[5]

The manuscript is now housed in El Escorial (Ψ. III, 14).[3][6]
