History
The manuscript was inadequately cited by Constantin von Tischendorf. The codex was acquired by Braithwaite, who described it in Expository Times in 1901.[4] Gregory an extracts from the collation of Braithwaite. According to von Soden, the manuscripts belongs to Ik-text. Kirsopp Lake found that this manuscript shares with Family Π.[5]
According to Metzger this manuscript "deserves to be studied more thoroughly than has hithero been the case".[6]
The codex is located in the Cambridge University Library (additional manuscripts 6594).[2]
