According to the colophon it was written in Rome, April 25, 1478 by
John Rhosos of Crete for
Francis Gonzaga Cardinal of St. Maria Nuova. There is a note that Rhosos also wrote the Vatican Homer in 1477 for Cardinal Gonazaga. Then it belonged to Giovanni Pietro Arrivabene. The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by
Scholz (1794–1852). It was examined by Scholz (only
Mark 5).
C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883. It is currently housed at the
British Library (
Harley MS 5790). == See also ==
