Urb. gr. 154 includes the Schedographia of the Byzantine Grammarian, Manuel Moschopoulos. In this work, the Byzantine author presents educational exercises drawn from Biblical and Homeric topics for grammatical analysis. George Baiophoros, the scribe, used several recycled manuscripts in his prolific scribal activity in Constantinople in the early fifteenth century. The Vatican Library has several manuscripts that were copied or annotated by Baiophoros, some of which include recycled manuscripts (Vat. gr. 19, Vat. gr. 21, Vat. gr. 157). This manuscript found its way to the Library of Urbino whence it arrived to the Vatican Library in 1657.

In Constantinople in 1423, George Baiophoros used a recycled manuscript that contained excerpts from various homilies attributed to John Chrysostom as a writing surface in the main part of Urb. gr. 154 (ff. 1-87). The original manuscript was copied in the eleventh century and included large folios which were folded in halves in the process of recycling. Each folio has two columns.
