History of the codex

This codex was used by Desiderius Erasmus in his edition of the Novum Testamentum (1516). Sometimes he used some of its marginal readings instead of main text readings (e.g. Acts 8:37; 15:34; 24:6-8).<ref name = Scrivener/> In result some of its readings became a part of the Textus Receptus.

It was examined by Battier, Wettstein.<ref name = Scrivener/>

Currently the codex is located at the University of Basel (Cod. A.N.IV.5), at Basel.<ref name = Aland/>
