The manuscript was written by one Leo. Formerly it belonged to the monastery of St. Maximus. In 1853 it was bought together with Minuscule 503 from Constantine Simonides.[3][4]

According to Gregory it could be written by the same hand as Minuscule 644.
It is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 19387) in London.[2]

Maximos the Confessor

Saint Maximos soon realized that the emperor and many others had been corrupted by the Monothelite heresy, which was spreading rapidly through the East. He resigned from his duties at court, and went to the Chrysopolis monastery (at Skutari on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus), where he received monastic tonsure. Because of his humility and wisdom, he soon won the love of the brethren and was chosen Abbott of the monastery after a few years. Even in this position, he remained a simple monk.


With the blessing of the local bishop, the Monastery of Saint Maximus the Confessor from Tsageri, is currently under restoration.

The manuscript is currently housed at the British Library (Add MS 19388) in London.[2][6]
