History

F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 15th century.[3] C. R. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century.[4] Actually the INTF dated the manuscript much earlier, to the 11th century.[2]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]

Formerly it was labeled by 154^a and 187^p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 621 to it.[1]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 1270), in Rome.[2]
