History

edit

The manuscript was examined by Wettstein, Gaisford, Scholz, and Pott. Codex 58a of Wettstein is the same as 22a.[4] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1883.[3]

The manuscript was added to the list of the New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794-1852).[8]

Formerly it was labelled by 58a and 224p.[3] In 1908 Gregory gave the number 383 to it.[1]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Bodleian Library in Oxford (MS. E. D. Clarke 9, fols. 1-181).[2][5]
