History.
F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century, C. R. Gregory to the 11th century. It is dated by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 11th century.
The manuscript was brought from the East to Berlin by Wilhelm Ernst von Knobelsdorff in 1803, along with many other manuscripts (Persian and Arabic). In 1820 it was presented for the Prussian State Library. G. G. Pappelbaum described and collated its text in 1824. The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852),
who listed it under the number 239. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1887. Hermann von Soden designated it by siglum ε 181.
At the end of 1943 year has increased the frequency of the bombing of Berlin. The Prussian State Library sent many collections out of Berlin to be sheltered in Silesia for safekeeping. As the result of postwar border changes some of these collections were found in Poland (among minuscule 433). They were moved to the Jagiellonian University Library.
The manuscript used to be held in Berlin (MS Quart 12). It is now housed at the Biblioteka Jagiellońska (Fonds der Berliner Hss. Graec. qu. 12) in Kraków.
