Provenance
Many of the place-names suggest that the volume was at least partly made and owned in eastern Germany near the border with Poland. Like other manuscripts in the Hamilton collection from this area, it may have belonged to the Cistercian abbey of Neuzelle, but there is no positive evidence to support the attribution.
Sir William Hamilton, 1788–1856
