History
The manuscript was written by John Serbopoulos (possibly coppied from 54). It once belonged to John Hopkins in London.[2]
It was examined by Mill, Wettstein in 1715, Dobbin, and Gregory. Dobbin compared its readings with Codex Montfortianus and 56 in 1922 places.[3] Gregory expressed the opinion that codices 47, 56, 58 are in the same hand, and one of them coppied from 54.[3]
It is currently housed in at the New College (68), at Oxford.[1]
