History

The manuscript was written by Meletius a Beroean for Cyrus Alypius, οικονομος of St. George's monastery. in the reign of Michael Palaeologus (1259-1282).[3]

Formerly the manuscript was held at the Philotheus monastery at Athos peninsula. It was brought to Moscow, by the monk Arsenius, on the suggestion of the Patriarch Nikon, in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (1645-1676).[7] The manuscript was collated by C. F. Matthaei.[4]

The manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 18, S. 277) at Moscow.[2]
