Text
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.[4] It belongs to the textual family Kx, and to 51 manuscripts in Luke which are, according to Hermann von Soden, related to the Byzantine commented text (codices 53, 902).[5]
History
The manuscript once belonged to Claudius James Rich, consul in Bagdad. It was bought in 1825 for the British Museum.[2]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener. It was examined by Scrivener[6] and Bloomfield.[3]
It is currently housed at the British Library (Additional Manuscripts, 7141) in London.[1]
