History
The manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 15th-century.

The manuscript once belonged to J. B. Hantin, a French numismatic. Bishop Moore in 1706 took this manuscript from Hantin's library. It was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by J. J. Wettstein, who gave it the number 30.

It was examined and described by John Mill (Colbertinus 4 for Matthew), Scholz (1794-1852) and Paulin Martin. Scholz found that its text much resembles minuscule 17. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1884.

It is currently housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Gr. 100) in Paris.
