History
The fragments come from the archives of Ename Abbey kept at the State Archives at Ghent. In 1919 they were transferred to the Ghent University Library as part of an exchange between the State Archives and the University Library.
Host Volume
The fragments were probably reused in the binding of an archival document but the host volume can no longer be identified.
