History

Origin

S. Italy
Provenance

The host MS belonged to Timotei Cipariu, and came to Cluj from the Central Library in Blaj. Cipariu edited and commented the Horatian fragment on f. 1 in 1857. On the front pastedown, the MS bears the former shelfmark of the Blaj library (s. XIX): ‘N˚ 171’. Another former shelfmark: ‘Cod. 1’, s. XX (front pastedown). On the front pastedown a 19th-c. hand wrote in pencil ‘67 Bll.’ [=Blätter]. On the rear pastedown, one can read ’24 F.’ written in pencil by a hand s. XX, and ‘15’, written by a hand s. XIX. Cipariu purchased this manuscript and another twelve volumes in December 1856 from the Viennese antiquarian Johann Schratt for 6 florins.
