Features
Bindings
16th-century (?) binding of blind tooled calf over wooden boards. Panel design, repeated rose motifs, diaper. Two repaired metal clasps. Strips of vellum from a liturgical manuscript have been used as binding materials.
Provenance
The various parts of the manuscript were most probably written in southern Germany at different times in the 15th century, as suggested by watermarks: ff. 1-36 dated '1444', ff. 37-94 ca. 1455-1458, ff. 95-107 ca. 1453-1471, ff. 108-140 ca. 1479-1481. The final part is contemporary with the incunabula bound within the same volume. Inside the back cover are notes recording deaths in the 1520s and 1530s, apparently at places in present-day Austria.
