History

Provenance

Parc Abbey, Heverlee (original volume kept since at least the middle of the 16th century)
Remarks

The fragments preserved as bifolia or leaves (VIIIB20/7, VIIIB20/8, VIIIB20/9, VIIIB20/10, VIIIB20/11, VIIIB20/13, VIIIB20/14, VIIIB20/15, VIIIB20/92, VIIIB20/94, VIIIB20/97, VIIIB20/98, VIIIB20/99, VIIIB20/104) were used as register covers.

The fragments preserved as strips (VIIIB20/12, VIIIB20/117, VIIIB20/115, VIIIB20/116, VIIIB20/164, VIIIB20/183) were most likely used in book bindings, possibly in registers as well (as is the case with VIIIB20/164).
