The manuscript is currently held at ʿUra Qirqos, a church near Zäla Ambässa, Tigray Region, northern Ethiopia.
[3] The manuscript was originally held at the monastery (gädam ገዳም) of ʿUra Mäsqäl (now located within the borders of Eritrea), but was taken to ʿUra Qirqos at the start of the Eritrean–Ethiopian War in the late 1990s.
Currently, ʿUra Mäsqäl is located on a difficult-to-access rocky outcrop, surrounded by valleys littered with landmines from the war.
In 2012 and 2013, Ethio-SPaRe performed restoration work on the manuscript, which was in poor condition at the time.
The sequence of hagiographies below, along with the saints' feast days according to the Ethiopian calendar, was reconstructed by Antonella Brita, since the folia were all mixed up when they were initially being researched and documented by Ethio-SPaRe.
