History

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 14th century, Gregory dated it to the 12th or 13th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 12th century.[4]

The manuscript was bought from Spyridion Lambros from Athens in 1859, along with 22 other manuscripts of the New Testament (codices: 269, 270, 271, 272, 688, 689, 690, 691, 693, etc.).[6]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscript by Scrivener (596) and Gregory (692).[5]

It was examined by S. T. Bloomfield and Dean Burgon. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.[6]

The manuscript is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 22740) in London.[3][4]
