Gregory, [https://archive.org/stream/canonandtextnew00greguoft#page/n377/mode/2up "Canon and Text of the New Testament"] ([[T & T Clark]]: Edinburgh 1907), p. 361</ref> it is a [[palimpsest]]—the original (lower) text was washed off its [[vellum]] pages and overwritten in the 12th or 13th century. The upper text of the palimpsest contains weekday Gospel lessons; the lower text contains portions of the [[Gospel of Luke]], deciphered by biblical scholar and palaeographer [[Samuel Prideaux Tregelles|Tregelles]] in 1861. The lower text is of most interest to scholars.
The manuscript came from [[Zakynthos]], a Greek island, and has survived in a fragmentary condition. It was brought to England in 1821 and transferred to [[Cambridge University]] in 1985 which later purchased it after an appeal in 2014. It is often cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament.
