History edit

According to C. R. Gregory the manuscript was written in the 15th century.[5] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 14th century.[4]

It was described by Montana, who sent a description to Kelly.[8]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (209a, 475r)[8] and Gregory (237a, 475r).[5] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 921 to it.[1]

Formerly it was classified as lectionary under the siglum l 595.[3]

It is currently housed in the Biblioteca de El Escorial (C. IV. 9) in Escurial.[3][4]
