It was found in 1875 by a P. Srećković in a Serbian village in Albania kept by seventeen generations of the Serbian Orthodox priests from the same family. In 1902, the manuscript was obtained by the Ministry of Education for the National Library of Serbia. It disappeared during evacuation and retreat of the Serbian Army in the World War I in 1915. It was returned with the 13th-century Belgrade Prophetologion to the National Library after being purchased from the Federal Republic of Germany in 1969.
