    History

    Remarks

    Fragment was used as a book cover. The exact host volume is unknown, but it was possibly an account book, due to later-added inscriptions of numbers being preserved on fol. [1]v. Fragment was gifted to KU Leuven University Library alongside Ms. 1285 (F-c3t8 on Fragmentarium).
