In 1898, the manuscript was brought to the Bulgarian Trade Agency [bg] in Bitola from a nearby village, along with other Slavic and Greek manuscripts.[1] Historian Yordan Ivanov found it in Bitola in 1907. It is now kept in the library of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia.[2]

Description

The triodion contains 101 leaves of parchment, each sized to 27.5 x 19.5 cm. According to Ivanov, it was written in the village of

Konstantin of Preslav
. It is written in Cyrillic with traces of Glagolitic, which is considered to be a characteristic feature of manuscripts from the Bulgarian region.

Some scholars assume that it is a direct copy of an older, Glagolitic book.
