History

The manuscript was examined and collated by Matthaei.[7] Formerly it was labeled by 252a and 302p.[4] Gregory saw it in 1887. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 255 to it.

Formerly it was held in Berlin (Königliche Bibliothek, Ms. Gr. Quarto 40).[4]

At the end of 1943 year has increased the frequency of the bombing of Berlin. The Prussian State Library sent many collections out of Berlin to be sheltered in Silesia for safekeeping. As the result of postwar border changes some of these collections were found in Poland (among them minuscule 255). They were moved to the Jagiellonian University Library.[8]

The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteka Jagiellońska (Fonds der Berliner Hss. Graec. quarto 40) at Cracow.[2]
