History

Although the manuscript dates from the 5th century, it is still - compared to the three "big " Codices Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus and Vaticanus - of lesser importance. The text seems to be composed of all the more important types of text, and often agrees with the text Koine or Byzantine agreement. Two correctors have commented on the text. Probably lived the first in the 6th century in Palestine, the last seems to have worked in the 9th century in Constantinople Opel. After the siege of Constantinople in 1453, the Code was brought to Florence. Caterina de ' Medici brought it to France as part of her dowry.

In the 19th century the manuscript was treated with chemicals. This made it possible Constantin von Tischendorf to decipher the text below; However, the manuscript was seriously damaged. The chemical treatment was placed Tischendorf to load, Gregory indicates, however, that in 1834 Ferdinand Florence spot, a Leipzig professor, this treatment caused the consent of the librarian. The text was published for the first time in 1843 and 1845 by Tischendorf as pseudo facsimile.
