History
Formerly the manuscript was deposited by one Theodoret in the Catechumens library of the Great Lavra monastery on Mount Athos.[4] It came from Athos to Germany. The text of the manuscript was collated by Langer, librarian at Wolfenbüttel, for Griesbach.[4] C. R. Gregory did not see this manuscript.[3]
Formerly it was labelled by 97a and 241p.[3] In 1908 Gregory gave for it number 97.[1]
It is currently housed at the Herzog August Bibliothek (Codd. Gud. Graec. 104.2), at Wolfenbüttel.[2]
