History
According to F. H. A. Scrivener and C. R. Gregory it was written in the 16th century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 16th century.[4] Probably it was rewritten from minuscule 853.[5]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (704e),[8] Gregory (879e). Gregory saw it in 1886.[5]
It was examined and described by Ernesto Feron and Fabiano Battaglini (like minuscule 878) and 880).[9]
Currently the manuscript is housed at the Vatican Library (Ottob. gr. 100), in Rome.[3][4]
