Binding
Blind-stamped calfskin (?) over boards, 15th century. Stamps: blattwerk [lily?] (cf. Einbanddatenbank s030419); vierblatt (cf. s030420), vierblatt (cf. s030421, all associated with the 'Löwe in Schild IIa' workshop (Einbanddatenbank 502651s; Schwenke-Schunke II.217). Two strap-and-pin fastenings, lost; 4+1 bosses on the front and back boards, lost.
Acquisition
Presented to the Bodleian Library by his sons and received in 1857.
Provenance
Colophons, fol. 3v (covering the whole volume to fol. 340), fol. 72v (covering fols. 4–72v), and fol 102v (covering fols. 75–102v). That on fol. 3v shows that the undated parts after fol. 102 were written by 1419.
Damaged inscription, fol. 3r: Anno domini mº cccc xvij inceptus est presens liber mensis ap p’a in Gorlicz hora quat, suggesting that parts of the manuscript were in existence by 1417.
Attributed by Krämer on uncertain grounds and with query to St Peter's, Erfurt; perhaps more probably from the Cisterican abbey of Neuzelle given the manuscript's origin (and cf. some similarities with other bindings from Neuzelle), but positive evidence is lacking. The endleaf fol. 2 provides a further association with Neuzelle, but it is uncertain when it was bound into the present volume.
Not identifiable in the 1836 catalogue of Friedrich Gottlieb Julius von Bülow, 1760-?1831.
Sir William Hamilton, 1788–1856
