According to the colophon it was written in 1444 by Theognostus, metropolitan of Perga and Attalia.[4] The colophon states:
μετροπολιτου περγης και ατταλειας θεογνωστου, υπερτιμου και εξαρχου της κενης δευτερας παμφυλιας. εν ατταλου τη μητροπολει αμβλυωπων. Αρχιερευς νειλος.[3]
In 1547 it was presented to the Iviron monastery at Mount Athos, where it was housed until 1655.[3]
It was examined by Matthaei.[3]
It is currently housed at the State Historical Museum (V. 412, S. 5), at Moscow.[2]
