It contains a Theophylact's commentary to the Gospels.

The text was written by two hands. It contains some extracts from Photius and one anonymous author at the end.

The Greek text of the codex is mixed. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.

According to the colophon it was written in 1196, by Paulus, a monk.

Formerly the manuscript was held in Constantinople. Busbecq brought the manuscript from Constantinople to Vienna.

It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scrivener (824) and Gregory (719). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1887.

At present the manuscript is housed at the Austrian National Library (Theol. gr. 19, fol. 1–314) in Vienna.
