The Apostolic Library in the Vatican holds the only known copy of the book. It is missing the frontispiece and the first 16 pages, which explains why the title and year of publication of the work are not known.

The book was discovered in 1740 by Gjon Nikollë Kazazi, the Albanian archbishop of Skopje. 

The book contains the liturgies of the main holidays. There are also texts of prayers and rituals and catechetical texts. Most of the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John were translated in the book. It also contains passages from the Psalms, the Book of Isaiah, the Book of Jeremiah, the Letters to the Corinthians, and many illustrations.
