History
Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 14th or 15th century, Gregory to the 14th century.[4][3] It has been assigned by the INTF to the 14th century.[1][2]
Nothing is known of its history until 1864, when it came into the possession of a dealer at Janina in Epeiros. It was then purchased by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist,[5] along with other Greek manuscripts.[3] They were transported to England in 1870–1871.[6] The manuscript was presented by Burdett-Coutts to Sir Roger Cholmely's School, and was housed at the Highgate (Burdett-Coutts III. 34), in London.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 247) and Gregory (number 224). Gregory saw it in 1883.[3] In 1922 it was acquired for the University of Michigan.[7]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[8]
The codex is housed at the University of Michigan (Ms. 31) in Ann Arbor.[1][2]
