History

Formerly it was known as Codex Seldeni 4. It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Wettstein.[4][5] The codex was examined by Mill (as Seld. 4) and Griesbach. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[2]

The manuscript is sporadically cited in the critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS3).[6]

Currently the codex is located in the Bodleian Library (Arch. Selden. B. 56) in Oxford.[1]
