The scribe is Ἰωάννης Ὁνώριος (Ὑδρουντινός, a.k.a. John of Otranto, &c.), "Ioannes Honorius Malliae oppidi Hydruntini civis, librorum graecorum instaurator", copyist also of Paris. gr. 2379. See Vogel & Gardthausen in the Bibliography and Online Resources; also "More Manuscripts with this Scribe" in Online Resources for those mss. dealt with at Πίνακες.

This scribe is not to be confused with an earlier Giovanni da Otranto (or, Giovannni Grasso/Grusso: see Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, vol. 56 (2001) sub lem.).
