History
The Codex is preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 107), at Paris. The order of the epistles to the Colossians and Philippians have exchanged places; the Epistle to the Hebrews follows after that to Philemon. The text is written colometrically.
It was named by the Calvinist scholar Theodore Beza because he procured it in the town of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, Oise, in the Picardy region north of Paris. Beza was the first to examine it, and he included notes of some of its readings in his editions of the New Testament. The later history of its use by editors of the Greek New Testament can be found in the links and references.
The manuscript was examined by Johann Jakob Griesbach and Constantin von Tischendorf, who edited the Greek text of the codex. Paul Sabatier edited the Latin text of the codex.
Johann Gottfried Jakob Hermann published in 1821 the palimpsest text of the leaves 162-163.

“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”

“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day

sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
