Remarks

The fragments were used as flyleaves in a register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp kept between 1 November 1367 and 31 January 1568 ('Assijsboeck vande binnen bier assijse der Stadt van antwerpen [...] Beginnende Prima Novem[ber] 1567 Ende eyndende vltima Janu[ario ...] Daer na van eyn quartier Jaers').

A modern paper slip with the inscription '1567-6' is attached to the leaves with a string, referring to this origin.
