Formerly the manuscript belonged to an Augustinian Monastery at Naples. In 1717 it was brought to Vienna together with 94 other manuscripts.[2] It was held in Vienna, in the Hofbibliothek, Lat. 1235). It was examined by Bianchini. The text was edited by Alter, Johannes Belsheim, and Jülicher.[1]
It was named Vindobonensis after Vienna (Lat. 1235), place of its former housing.
Currently it is housed at the Biblioteca Nazionale (Lat. 3) at Naples.[1]
