| + | |
| - | Dated to the 12th century, because the frequent occurrence of enlarged letters, rounded breathing marks, flourishes, and ligatures would seem to eliminate earlier date.<sup>[2]</sup> The manuscript was presented to the monastery of the [[Dominican Order|Preaching Friars]] by Cardinal [[John of Ragusa|Ragusio]] (1380-1443), general of [[Dominican Order|Dominicans]].<sup>[4]</sup> It borrowed by [[Johann Reuchlin|Reuchlin]] and used by [[Desiderius Erasmus]] in the first edition of his [[Novum Instrumentum omne|Novum Testamentum]] ([[1516 AD|1516]]). In result some of its readings came to [[Textus Receptus]]. Erasmus used this codex very little, because its text was different from other manuscripts with which he was acquainted. [[Johannes Oecolampadius| Oecolampadius]] and Gerbelius, Erasmus's subeditors, insisted to him for using more readings from this codex in the third edition, but according to Erasmus the text of this codex was altered from the Latin manuscripts, and had secondary value.<sup>[9]</sup> Since 1559 it was held in the [[University of Basel]].<sup>[4]</sup> Its later story is the same as that of [[Codex Basilensis]] and [[Minuscule 2]].

| - | [[Johann Albrecht Bengel|Bengel]] made a few extracts from the codex. [[Johann Jakob Wettstein| Wettstein]] was the first who thoroughly examined this codex. According to him in the Gospels its text agrees with the most ancient codices and [[List of New Testament Church Fathers|patristic quotations]].<sup>[10]</sup> In 1751 he changed his high opinion (Novum Testamentum Græcum). Wettstein dated codex to the 10th century. Wettstein collated this manuscript twice, but with many errors. According to Tregelles his collation was incorrect in more than 1200 readings. Hug supported last opinion of Wettstein that codex was latinizated.<sup>[11]</sup> [[Samuel Prideaux Tregelles|Tregelles]], and Roth collated this manuscript again. Tregelles noticed that this codex is similar to minuscule 118. [[John William Burgon|Dean Burgon]] noticed that also codices 131 and 209 are similar. All this group was examined by [[Kirsopp Lake]] in 1902.<sup>[12]</sup> It was named "the Lake Group", or [[Family 1]].
