It contains Prolegomena, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each sacred book, subscriptions at the end of each book, Synaxarion, Menologion, and numbers of στιχοι at the end of each book.[3]
It is elegantly but inaccurately written.[4]
The manuscript was written by one Leo at Constantinople.[4] It was brought from Constantinople to Vienna by Augier Busbecq together with the codex 421 and many other manuscripts. It was examined by Treschow,[6]Alter, and Birch.[4]
Alter used it in his edition of the Greek New Testament (vol. 2, pp. 689–740). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1881.[3]
The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[7]
