Provenance

Mainz, Carthusian abbey of St Michael: The present manuscript consists of two fascicles, both of which were once in the possession of the Mainz Charterhouse. Bound together since the late 1630s, as evidenced by the late 14th/early 15th-cent. list of contents on fol. 1v, inserted at the Mainz Charterhouse.

William Laud, 1573–1645: The present book consists of seven fascicles, which were likely put together only in the course of the Laudian binding. Ex-libris inscription, dated 1638, at the lower margin of fol. 2r.
