Remarks

Host volume also contains another fragment as a pastedown, a leaf from Jacobus de Voragine, Legenda aurea (F-587m on Fragmentarium).

Host volume was kept by one M. Bosch in 1861, according to ex-libris on fol. 99v. Bosch was presumably the owner before the manuscript transferred to Parc Abbey.
