History

The manuscript was slightly examined and described by Scholz, Paulin Martin,[6] and C. R. Gregory (1885). According to Scholz, it was formerly indexed in the National Library as Gr. 2247. Isaac Newton cites it by that call number in his discussion of the Johannine Comma. It was examined by J.G. Reiche.[7]

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz.[8] Formerly it was labeled by 114a and 134p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 465 to it.[1]

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 57) in Paris.[2]
