The subscription states that it was written by Leo, a priest and caligrapher, in October 1193, and bought in 1168 by Bartholomeus, who compared it with ancient [[Jerusalem Colophon|Jerusalem manuscripts]] on the sacred mount.<sup>[3]</sup> 

It was examined by [[Andrew Birch|Birch]] and [[Johann Martin Augustin Scholz|Scholz]] (1794-1852). 

It is currently housed at the [[Vatican Library]] (Barberini gr. 319), at [[Rome]].<sup>[1]</sup>
