At f. 333v, a note inscribed in a quatrefoil mentions that the manuscript was donated by Nikolaos πριμικήριος and ἄρχων τοῦ χρυσοχείου to the monastery of Stoudios under its abbot, the priest/monk Nikolaos, on March 1018. The names of the donor and of the abbot are written in rasura. Below the note, there is a monocondylon written by a contemporary hand, probably the priest Viktor, librarian in the monastery of Stoudios (Hutter 2022: 1018; Valerio 2022: 39).
According to Kavrus-Hoffmann (2004: 30; 2010: 126), the manuscript was executed a few dacades earlier than 1018. The scholar also argues that the manuscript was not produced in the monastery of Stoudios and that the note at f. 333v was not scribal.
In the 11th c., a center in Southern Italy imported, from Stoudios, a series of pre-metaphrastic menologia (including the Vat. gr. 1675), which were later used in Grottaferrata (Canart 1978: 128 n. 48). |
