History

Remarks

Fragments were used as binding material for an unknown volume. Fol. [2] was used as a pastedown, while the other fragments were possibly used as quire guards.

Parts of this original book binding, two parts of a blind-tooled cover in brown leather, are also preserved. On the back sides of these cover parts, the offset from fol. [2] is visible.
