History
According to the colophon it was written in 1185.[2][3] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) to the 12th century.[3][4]
It was written by a monk named Cosmas for one Basilius.[2]
It was purchased from Ivor B. Guest in 1871 (along with lectionary 331). It was examined and described by Oscar von Gebhardt in 1881.[2]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener (279e)[5] and Caspar René Gregory (number 330e).[2] Gregory saw it in 1883.[2]
The codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 28817) in London.[3][4]
The fragment is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[6] NA28[7]).
