History
It is assigned by the INTF to the 12th century.[1][2] According to the colophon on the last leaf it was written in the month of August, in the year 6707 (from the creation of the world), in the reign of Alexius Commenus III Angelus.[5]
The manuscript once belonged to Caesar de Missy, chaplain to George III, in 1748 (along with the codices 560, 561, ℓ 162, ℓ 239, ℓ 240).[3] Then it belonged to William Hunter. The Hunter's collection remained in London for several years after his death – for the use of his nephew, Matthew Baillie (1761-1823) – and finally came to the Glasgow University in 1807.[6]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (number 232)[4] and Gregory (number 241). Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]
The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[7]
The codex is housed at the Glasgow University Library, as a part of the Hunterian Collection[6] (Ms. Hunter 419) in Glasgow.[1][2]
