Excerpt from The Old Testament in Greek, According to the Septuagint, Vol. 2: 1 Chronicles-Tobit
Tischendorf, who regards this Codex as the work of an Egyptian scribe, believes that it travelled from Egypt to Palestine, Syria or Asia Minor, and from thence to Constantinople, where it became a palimpsest. In the early years of the sixteenth century it was brought to the West by Andrew John Lascaris, and became the property of Lorenzo de' Medici. Subsequently the volume passed into the hands of Catharine de' Medici, and was conveyed to Paris, where it found place in the Royal Library.
