History
Formerly the manuscript was held in της μονης του προδρομου της κοιμενης εγγιστα της Αετιου αρχαικη δε τη μονη κησις πετρα in Constantinople, as codices 178 and 774.[5]
The manuscript once belonged to the famous scholar, philosopher and mathematician, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, together with the manuscript 129.[3]
It came from Constantinople; it was housed at Trier.[5] It was examined by Balthasar Cordier, and Scholz.[3] It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz. Wettstein's 87 is minuscule 250.[5] C. R. Gregory tried to find this manuscript twice in 1884 in Trier and Cusa, but unsuccessfully.[5]
It is currently housed in at the Cusanusstift (Bd. 18), at Bernkastel-Kues.[2]
