History
Scrivener and Gregory dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century.[6] Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 11th century.[4]
The manuscript was brought by John Hext from Corfu in 1878, and given by him to Daniel Parsons, who gave it to the college as a "join gift".[5]
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (617) and Gregory (711). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.[6]
At present the manuscript is housed at the Bodleian Library (Oriel College, Ms. 83) in Oxford.[3][4]
