Text
editThe Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland gave to it textual profile 1741 821/2 22 7s and placed it in Category V.[1] It belongs to the textual family E, but according to the Claremont Profile Method in Gospel of LUke it represents the textual family Kx.[3]
History
editThe codex was brought from the East by Erasmus Seidel at the beginning of the 17th century, together with Codex Seidelianus I. Maturin Veyssière de La Croze bought it 1718, in the same time as Seidelianus I.[4]
Since 1838 the codex is located in Hamburg Universitätsbibliothek (Cod. 91). One leaf of the codex is housed at Trinity College, Cambridge (B XVII 20.21).[1][5]
It was examined by Petersen, Bentley, Tregelles, Tischendorf, and Gregory.[2]
