The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz, who slightly examined the manuscript.[7]
Formerly it was labeled by 169a and 206p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 634 to it.[1]
The manuscript currently is housed at the Vatican Library (Chis. R V 29 (gr. 23)), at Rome.[2][6]
