History
The manuscript in 1482 belonged to the monastery Great Lavra at Athos. Formerly the manuscript was held in the monastery Philotheus at Athos peninsula, then in Dionysius monastery. 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).[2] The first part of the manuscript (Matt.-Mark) was collated by C. F. Matthaei. The second part (Luke-John) was sold by Matthaei to the library in Dresden.This part was examined by Tregelles and Gebhart.[3] It was held in Saxon State Library (A 100) until to the World War II. After war it was brought to Moscow.
The Gospel of Matthew and Mark of the manuscript is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 91, S. 47, 355 fol.) at Moscow, the Gospels of Luke and John in the State Archive (F. 1607, No. 3,226 fol.) in Moscow.[1]
