Currently no print catalogue for Vaticani græci 933-1484 (though there is an unpublished catalogue by Νικόπουλος for 2502-2632 and one in preparation by Yantz for 1288-1421). Some information can often be found in the various Studi e Testi volumes (see Bibliography) and/or the Vatican website.  The Vatican's online search engine (see Online Resources) does not as of this writing always provide stable URL's, but manuscripts can be searched by call-number with an "Index" search. These often provide bibliographical material. Further information can also often be had by performing a Google search with "mss.vatlib.it" specified as the domain (do an Advanced Search or add "site:mss.vatlib.it" to the terms).

Πίνακες gives as the scribe for 1309 "Γαβριὴλ μοναχὸς Κριτόπουλος".  Not in Vogel-Gardthausen, which gives for "Κριτόπουλος" Γεώργιος (with question-mark, p. 79) and Θεόδωρος (p. 138).
