Text

The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Iφβ.[6] Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.[7]

According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no profile was made. It was corrected to Family Π in Luke 20.[6]

History

According to F. H. A. Scrivener it was written in the 12th-century, according to C. R. Gregory it was written in the 11th-century. Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th-century.[3] It once belonged to Jakob Jonas Björnståhl (1731-1779), professor from Lund University, who bequeathed it for the University of Uppsala. In 1784 it was acquired for the library of the University of Uppsala as "Björnståhl 2" along with 902 and 1852.[8] Gregory saw it in 1891.[4]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (615e)[8] and Gregory (901e).[4]

It is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[9] NA28[10]).

The manuscript is housed at the Uppsala University (Gr. 12) in Uppsala.[2][3]
