The collection comprised approximately twenty Greek manuscripts, nearly all of which originated from the Barbaro family. Following Grimani’s death, part of the collection passed to Apostolo Zeno, while another portion was acquired by the monastery of San Michele di Murano. Between 1714 and 1736, the monastery obtained a group of manuscripts from Grimani’s collection, formerly belonging to the Barbaro family. A second acquisition from the same source took place in 1747, following an interim during which the manuscripts were held by Gerardo Sagredo. The monastery’s library was ultimately dispersed after 1810. However, the manuscript Ra 9075 had already been transferred to Paris in 1797, during Napoleon’s conquest of Venice. In 1816, it was returned to Venice, becoming part of the Biblioteca Marciana collection. | Owners: Bibliotheca Grimana  cf. de Montfaucon, p. 478, Bibliotheca S. Michaelis  N° 242, cf.
