Its text has some resemblance with minuscule 51 and the Complutensian Polyglot. Aland did not assigned it to a Category.
According to Scrivener codex "exhibits many readings of the same class as codices 1, 13, 33, but its authority has the less weith".[2]
History
The codex was used by Ludolph Kuster in edition of Mill's Novum Testamentum in 1710. Mill ascribed it as "exemplar Regium Maedicaeum", and remarked its resemblance to the Codex Campianus.[3] Nicholas Westermann collated its text.[3] It was quoted by Denis Amelote in his translation of the New Testament.[3]
It is currently housed at the Stadtarchiv Frankfurt (Oder) (Gr. 24) at Frankfurt (Oder).[1]
