History

Origin

A typical university manuscript, most likely for the use of the Franciscans.

Provenance

Most likely a Franciscan convent.

Remarks

The host volume belonged to the Jesuit College of Cluj: "Collegij Soc. Jesu Claudiopoli 1764" (frontispiece ownership note). It is unlikely that the MS fragment had belonged to the local Franciscan convent, established at the end of the fifteenth century, and dissolved in 1556.
