History
[edit]Bloomfield dated the manuscript to the 9th century, Todd to the 13th century,[5] Gregory to the 12th century.[2] Scrivener even did not try to assign the manuscript to any century, he only quoted opinions of Bloomfield and Todd.[1] It has been assigned by the INTF to the 14th century.[3][4]
The manuscript once belonged to Joseph Dacre Carlyle, Orientalist, who brought the manuscript from Syria.[5] After his death it was presented to the Lambeth Palace Library (shelf number 1193), by his wife, along with major part of his manuscript collection, in 1806.[6] The codex now is housed at the British Library (Add MS 29713) in London.[3][4]
The manuscript was examined and described by S. T. Bloomfield, H. J. Todd, Scrivener, and Gregory. It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 226) and Gregory (number 232). Gregory saw it in 1883.[2]
The manuscript is not cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[7]
