Tischendorf died before he could finish his edition, and the third volume, containing the Prolegomena, was prepared and edited by C. R. Gregory and issued in three parts (1884, 1890, 1894).

T. infr 2.2) in Oxford and 99 leaves of the codex are located now in the National Library of Russia (Gr. 33) in Saint Petersburg.
