History
Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 13th century, Gregory dated it to the 12th or 13th century.[1] It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 12th century.[2][3]
It was purchased from Spyridon P. Lambros from Athens, on 26 March 1859 (along with lectionaries 322, 323, and 324).[1][5][4]
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (269e)[5] and Gregory (number 321e).[1] Gregory saw it in 1883.[1]
The manuscript was mentioned by Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum, 1854-1875,[7] by M. Richard,[8] by J. Mossay and X. Lequeux.[9]
Currently the codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 22735) in London.[2][3]
