The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.[5] Aland placed it in Category V.[6]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 10; in Luke 20 it has mixed Byzantine text. It creates textual pair with minuscule 2694.[5]

The manuscript once belonged to Humphrey Wanley (1672–1726).[3] In 1776 the manuscript was bought by Samuel Smalbroke from Lichfield and it was presented by him to the Bodleian Library in 1800.[4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament minuscule manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (484) and C. R. Gregory (529).[3] Gregory saw it in 1883.[4]
It is currently housed at the Bodleian Library (Auct. D. inf. 2.21) in Oxford.[2]
