History[edit]
The manuscript was written in Ephesus.[3] It was examined by Richard Bentley (χ'), John Mill (Baroc.), Caspar, Johann Jakob Wettstein, Johann Jakob Griesbach (only 1 Cor. 15),[6] and Bloomfield.[7] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[4] Formerly it was labelled by 23a, 28p, and 6r. In 1908 Gregory gave number 314 for it.[1]
A full Commentary on the Apocalypse, was edited by J. A. Cramer in 1840.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Bodleian Library (MS. Barocci 3) at Oxford.[2]
