The manuscript of which these leaves once formed part, is now deposited in the University Library of Leipzig, having been brought from the convent of S. Mary Deipara, along with other fragments, by Dr. Tischendorf.*

It has been carefully described and examined by Dr. Gildemeister in his treatise Gildemeister, "de Evangeliis in Arabicum e Simplici Syriaca translatis Commentatio Academica," Bonn, 1865 .

The larger sections are marked both in the Syriac and Arabic texts (see in particular foll. 5a and 10a).
