History

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz. Gregory saw it in 1886, but he did not examine it thoroughly.[4]

Formerly it was labeled by 157a and 191p. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 624 to it.[1]

The manuscript currently is housed at the Vatican Library (Vat. gr. 1714), at Rome.[2]
