Matthew 1:11
Formerly the manuscript was held at the monastery at Athos peninsula. 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 Dassdorf for C. F. Matthaei.[8] It was bought for the library in Dresden.
It was examined by Tregelles. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1880.[4]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Saxon State and University Library Dresden (SLUB) (Mscr. Dresd. A. 123), at Dresden. However, it cannot be used in its present state due to water damage.[2]
