Monastery of Timios Prodromos
The former home of the manuscript, the Monastery of Timios Prodromous, had a piped link to Lousios and the image was File:Podromos.jpg. The Lousios is a river and a gorge in western Arcadia, Peloponnese in southern mainland Greece, well out of reach of WWI Bulgarian forces.

Despite the page's good article status, I have boldly removed the piped link and image.

The page mentions the Monastery of Timios Prodromos near Serres, which is a city in Macedonia, northern Greece. This monastery does not seem to have a Wiki article. Nedrutland (talk) 08:04, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks @Nedrutland. I have got a picture of the actual Monastery now to add to the page. Stephen Walch (talk) 08:12, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Ownership
I was expecting to read mention of the manuscript's ownership. It left its monastery during World War I and was identified some 90 years later in Prague. Is there no dispute about its current position? I would expect the Greeks would want it back? Nedrutland (talk) 17:27, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * There probably is a dispute about whether the manuscript should remain in Prague or have it returned to the monastery; just there's no mention of this in the sources which discuss the current provenance of the manuscript. At this present time, it and other related manuscripts appear to be remaining in Sofia. Stephen Walch (talk) 17:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The current readily identifiable literature is as Stephen Walch describes; we are unlucky for it but sometimes there are gaps in public knowledge. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:52, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
