History
F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 15th century. C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century. Actually the INTF dated the manuscript much earlier, to the 11th century.
The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.
Formerly it was labeled by 154a and 187p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 621 to it.
The manuscript currently is housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 1270), in Rome.
