The manuscript once belonged to Bishop Moore (together with the codex 60), who gave it in 1715 to the library. It was examined by Bentley, Mill, and Griesbach. The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852). C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.
The codex is cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (NA26).
It is currently housed at the Cambridge University Library (Mm. 6.9) in Cambridge.

Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
