The manuscript was written by Cosmas Vanaretus, a monk. Formerly it belonged to the monastery of St. Maximus. In 1853 it was bought together with Minuscule 502 from Constantine Simonides.[3][2]
It was examined by Bloomfield, Scrivener, and Gregory.[3]
It is currently housed at the British Library (Additional Manuscripts, 19389) in London.[1]
