| Provenance: The manuscript seems to come from a monastery under Georgian influence. Perhaps from the Monastery of Bachkovo (Georgian პეტრიწონის მონასტერი, Bulgarian Бачковски манастир) in Bulgaria, since the date of Mary of Alania becoming a nun is explicitly mentioned in the manuscript (f. 320v). Mary had a close relation to Bachkovo Monastery; but also to the Monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos.

| A note on Mary of Alania (1053–1118) added by a hand different from that of the scribe, records the date when the empress became a nun. It is dated to the 9th March 1086 (f. 320v). A Georgian marginal note in cursive script on the bottom of f. 254r reads: ოლნ ოლნ (= უფალმან უფალმან) ჩემ წმ(მან?).
