## History

According to the colophon it was written in 1272. It is presently assigned by the INTF to the 13th-century.

It was written by a monk named Cosmas for one Basilius.

It was purchased from Ivor B. Guest in 1871 (along with lectionary 330). It was examined and described by Oscar von Gebhardt in 1881.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener $(280^e)$ and Gregory (number $331^e).$ Gregory saw it in 1883.

Currently the codex is housed at the British Library (Add MS 28818) in London.

The fragment is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4, NA28).
