As of the 2010s, the manuscript was dated by the INTF to the 13th century. It was given by Andreas Rivetus to Rutgersius (1589-1625), Swedish Ambassador to the United Provinces. It belonged to Daniel Heinsius and Nicholas Heinsius. It was cited by Daniel Heinsius, as Codex Rutgersii, in his Exercitationes sacrae in Evangel. (1639) After Nicholas Heinsius it belonged to Queen Christina of Sweden and Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni. Heinsius, one of its owner, worked on the Textus Receptus of the Greek New Testament for Elzeviers edition (1624, 1633), than influence of the codex 155 on the Textus Receptus is possible. According to Jonge it is possible only in 12 places, but all of this changes can be explained by the influence of the Complutensian Polyglotte. It was examined by Wettstein, Birch (about 1782), Scholz, C. R. Gregory (1886), Jonge. Wettstein designated it by number 99. It is housed at the Vatican Library (Reg. gr. 79), at Rome. == See also ==
