History
In the 14th century the manuscript belonged to Kosmas, a monk.[2] It was brought to England from the East by John Luke, professor of Arabic in Cambridge.[2] It was examined by Wettstein. John Berriman, one of the former owners of the manuscript, presented it in 1761 to the British Museum.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Cambridge University Library (Dd. 11.90) at Cambridge.[1]
