Provenance

The host volume is a school manuscript (Aristotle, Physics), copied in 1695 (f. 157v) at the Jesuit College of Trnava (Slovakia) by the Transylvanian Jesuit Paulus Almasi, who signed his name on the first flyleaf. Almasi also noted the name of his teacher, 'Franciscus Raulin' ('Sub R. P. Francisco Raulin', f. 1r). Almasi also taught at Trnava. The volume later belonged to the Jesuit college of Cluj-Mănăștur and Cluj. See list of Trnava SJ College in Karl A. F. Fischer, "Die Kaschauer und Tyrnauer Jesuiten-Universitäten im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert: Namenslisten der Professoren, Ungarn-Jahrbuch 15 (1987), p. 153.
