[5][3] According to Biblical scholar Caspar René Gregory, "der Buchbinder hat alles in Unordnung gebracht" (the bookbinder has messed everything up).

[2] Gregory describes the parchment as "thick", and notes that the letters are written under the line ruler markings (to keep the text straight horizontally).

[2] Biblical scholar Frederick H. A. Scrivener refers to the codex as a "valuable folio manuscript".

[7] Textual critic Kurt Aland placed it in Category V of his New Testament manuscript classification system.

[2][4] Ignatius von Weitenauer, a German Jesuit from Innsbruck, noted in 1757 that the manuscript had once belonged to Gerhard Voss (1577–1649), a Dutch professor who had donated it to the library in Ingolstadt.

[2] The first page bears two notes related to Voss: "Doctori Gerardo Vossio pro publico ecclesiae bono" (Doctor Gerard Voss for the public good of the Church) and "Gerardus Vossius ad publicandum patribus soc.

[1][5][9] Whilst in Ingolstadt, it was examined by philologist and historian Josef Dobrovský, who collated some of its readings for textual critic Johann Jakob Griesbach.

[2] Burgon also produced a facsimile of the manuscript, but it was considered to be of such poor quality that Scrivener published a new one in 1883.
