The manuscript was brought by Covel from Sinai to England. Covel marked it as codex 5, but afterwards gave it the name of the Sinai manuscript.
It is currently housed at the British Library.
It was examined by Mill, Bloomfield. Scrivener collated text of the Apocalypse. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883.

Former 110

In his numeration Wettstein designated by siglum 110 the Codex Ravianus, a transcript from the Complutensian Polyglot so slavish that it copies even typographical errors from that exemplar. It also includes some variant readings inserted from Stephanus's edition. It once belonged to Rave, a professor in Uppsala.
In 1908 Gregory removed the Codex Ravianus from the list of the Greek New Testament manuscripts. It is no longer listed, because it is only a facsimile of the Complutensis Polyglot. It is housed in the Berlin State Library.
