These pages once prefaced the Gospel texts of Luke and John in Mount Athos, Monastery of Great Lavra MS A76, dating to the late thirteenth century. The verso of St. Luke is blank, but the verso of St. John is illustrated with Christ appearing to his disciples after the Resurrection (John 20:19-23). Other detached leaves from this manuscript are now found in Paris, École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts Mn.Mas 2, and St. Petersburg, National Library of Russia MS gr. 305.
