The early history of the manuscript is unknown. In 1821 it was brought by General [[Colin Macaulay]] to England from the Greek island [[Zakynthos]] in the [[Ionian Sea]], after being presented to him by Prince Comuto (Antonios Dimitriou Komoutos, 1748-1833) a former President of the [[Septinsular Republic]]. Comuto inscribed the Codex to Macaulay as a token of his esteem. On his return to England Macaulay presented the Codex to [[British and Foreign Bible Society]] <ref>C.F. Smith, ''A Life of General Colin Macaulay'', (Privately Published, 2019, {{ISBN|978-1-78972-649-7}}), pp. 53-54.</ref> which then placed it in its library (Mss 24) in [[London]].<ref name = Gregory/>

Nicholas Pocock found errors in Tregelles' edition,<ref name = Pocock/> but [[William Hatch]] thought it satisfactory. J. Harold Greenlee corrected Tregelles' errors and edited the list of corrections in 1957,<ref>J. H. Greenlee, [https://www.jstor.org/pss/3261574 ''A Corrected Collation of Codex Zacynthius (Cod. Ξ)''], JBL LXXVI (1957), pp. 237-241.</ref> which was examined by [[William Hatch]]. In 1959 Greenlee published a commentary.<ref>J. H. Greenlee, ''The Catena of Codex Zacynthius'', Biblica 40 (1959), pp.&nbsp;992–1001.</ref> The codex probably needs another examination with modern technology.<ref name = Waltz/>
