== History ==
Gregory dated the manuscript to the 13th century.<ref name=Gregory/> Currently the manuscript is dated by the INTF to the 13th century.<ref name="INTF"/>
The manuscript was brought from Smyrna to Berlin. It was examined and described by Oscar von Gebhardt in 1886. It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Gregory (823<sup>e</sup>, 266<sup>a</sup>, 315<sup>p</sup>). Gregory saw it in 1889.<ref name = Gregory/> In 1908 Gregory gave one siglum for it – ''823''.<ref name="Gregory1908"/>
It was housed in Berlin in the Preußische Königliche Bibliothek (then Prussian State Library, then Berlin State Library) with the shelf-number Gr. octavo 13.<ref name=Gregory/>
The Prussian State Library sent many collections out of Berlin to be sheltered in Silesia for safekeeping during World War II. As the result of postwar border changes some of these collections were found in Poland (among them minuscule 823). They were moved to the Jagiellonian University Library.<ref>Sroka Marek, ''The Music Collection of the Former Prussian State Library at the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków, Poland: Past, Present, and Future Developments'', Library Trends – Volume 55, Number 3, Winter 2007, pp. 651-664.</ref>
Currently the manuscript is housed at the Biblioteka Jagiellońska (Fonds der Berliner Handschriften, Graec. octavo 13), in Kraków.<ref name=Aland/><ref name=INTF/>
