One part of the codex was found by Tischendorf in an eastern monastery in 1853, another part in 1859. As a result, the codex is divided and housed in two places. 158 leaves were bought in 1855 and they are housed in the Bodleian Library (Auct. T. 2.2) in Oxford and 99 leaves of the codex are located now in the National Library of Russia (Gr. 33) in Saint Petersburg. The Petersburgian leaves were described by Kurt Treu. == See also ==
