Date of Origin/Publication 1 August - 31 October 1567
Place of Origin/Publication Antwerp
Shelfmark Antwerpen, FelixArchief, T # 1471 ('1567-5')
Persons Johannes Maechs (supervisor of the beer assizes at Antwerp, scribe/keep of host volume)
Remarks

The fragments were used as flyleaves in a register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp kept between 1 August and 31 October 1567 ('Assijs boeck vande binnen bier assijse der stadt van antwerpen beginnende den eersten dach augustus anno 1567 ende eyndende den leesten dach october daer nae van eenen quartier Jaers'). The keeper of the volume is not explicitly named, but the script and the pen flourishes resemble that of supervisor Johannes Maechs.

A modern paper slip with the inscription '1567-5' is attached to the leaves with string, referring to this origin.
