Original Condition
Another fragment of one of these leaves is kept at Krakow (Kraków, Biblioteka Jagiellonska, Ms. germ. 4° 1895, 4). This is the top half of the same leaf as the Leuven Fragment F and is called 'Fragment E' because of this.
Current Condition
Fragments of both leaves were cut in half, with only the bottom half of both leaves being preserved. The fragments were conserved in the late 1980s by restoration workshop 'De Tiendschuur' (Tilburg, The Netherlands).

Host Volume
Fragments were used as pastedowns in the binding. They were rediscovered in 1985. The host volume was held by one Vinceslas Hagemeiers in the 16th century (provenance mark on second flyleaf of host volume: 'Jure Haereditatis [sum] Vincislai Hage[meie]rs a [...b]en Weiller'). Afterwards, the host volume was owned by the counts of Thun-Hohenstein Tetschen. The host volume was acquired by the Belgian insurance company Assurantie van de Belgische Boerenbond in 1965 and by Leuven University Library afterwards at an unknown date (but before 1985).
