The ownership records state that the manuscript was donated to the Assumption Cathedral of the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery by the monk of the same monastery Coenobite Dionysius Golenishchev nicknamed Verevka /The Rope/. The texts of the statutory “many years” to Tsar Ivan IV (who reigned between 1547 and 1584) and Dionysius II (who served as Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia between 1581 and 1586), point out that the book was created between 1581 and 1584. The collection is one of the so-called "Putevoy anthologies", which consists mainly of hymns of Putevoy chant. The statutory wishes for “many years”, dedicated to tsar and metropolitan, as well as the hymn "In Eternal Memory" (in this case, it was sacred to the memory of St Peter, the first Metropolitan of Moscow) particularly emphasized in the book, thanks to chants of different styles, namely Putevoy and Demestvenny chants.

In 1918 the manuscript came into the State Public Library along with the other materials from the library of the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery.

Shelfmark: РНБ. Кир.-Бел. 660/917.
