History

According to the colophon it was written in 1138 or 1139, by Leo, a monk.[4][6]

The manuscript once belonged to John Sambucky.[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (825) and Gregory (720^e for the Gospels, 258^a for the Catholic epistles, 308^p for the Pauline epistles). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1887.[6]

At present the manuscript is housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 79. 80) in Vienna.[3][4]
