The manuscript was written by Chariton, a monk. In 1727 the manuscript came from Constantinople to England and was presented to archbishop of Canterbury, William Wake, together with minuscules 73, 74, 506-520. Wake presented it to Christ Church in Oxford.

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament minuscule manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (499) and C. R. Gregory (513). Gregory saw it in 1883.

It is currently housed at Christ Church (Wake 29) in Oxford.
