An inscription dated 6974, indiction 14 (1466) is signed Michael of Adalia. Placement of the writing inside the front cover suggests he may have been a bookbinder who rebound the manuscript, rather than a one-time owner.</p> <p>Belonged to the Church of St. George in Heraklitsa, the present-day Eriklice located in Turkey's Tekirda臒 Province (colophon, inside back cover, dated October 28, 1921). Between 1929 and 1930, the manuscript was in Paris, in the possession, respectively, of the booksellers Le虂on Gruel, and Maurice Stora.</p> <p>Notation includes a later system of cross-referencing in which parallel kephalaia, subjects, and folio numbers are cited in the margin near to verses in the text (many erased or faded). Prayer, "O, Christ help your servant..." (front flyleaf, verso).</p> <h3>Acquisition</h3><p>Purchased from Maurice Stora (Paris), December 1930, by anonymous donors, and presented as a gift to the University of Chicago.</p> <h2>Bibliography</h2><ol><li> Seymour de Ricci, <em>Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada</em> (New York: H.
