History
The manuscript was bought by Alexius for 52 aspri in 1453 in Constantinople. Pachonius, a monk sent it in 1616, along with other books to the monastery Dochiarii at Mount Athos.[5] 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). The manuscript was collated by C. F. Matthaei.[10] In 1788 it was bought for the library in Dresden.[5] It was examined by Matthaei, Tregelles, Gebhardt, and Gregory.[5] Herman C. Hoskier collated its text (only for Apocalypse).
The manuscript came to Dresden at the end of the 18th century and was housed at the Sächsische Landesbibliothek (A 172).[2][4]
