History

The codex was written by Onesimus, in April 1047.[3] In 1633 it was purchased by William Laud, and became part of his collection.[2] It was known as Laudianus 4.

It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Johann Jakob Wettstein.[5][6] It was slightly examined by John Mill (as Laud. 4) and Griesbach.[2]

Kirsopp and Silva Lake published its facsimile.[7]

The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[8]

Currently the codex is located in the Bodleian Library (Laud. Gr. 34) in Oxford.[1]

gollark: What ELSE would they be, blocks?
gollark: Or, well, any.
gollark: Warp drive is somewhat cool, but GalactiCraft undoubtedly has better autopilotable rocket stuff.
