    History

    Origin

    Germany, where the book was owned and used around 1500?
    Provenance

    The book circulated and was probably bound in Germany. It first belonged to a Franciscan friar/convent: "<sub rasura:> Iste liber est ??? fratrum minorum de ???? et ad usum fratris ????", s. XV/XVI (front flyleaf recto). An early-16th c. hand added this text in Low German: "Ach leve her Jhesu wyl myr geven de genade, dat ich dich na dysen dagen nunmer en vertzorne amen. / Ach leve her Jhesu wyl myr dach geven dyn ewyge leven det ich nyt verdenet en haven amen." (front flyleaf verso). In the 16th c. the volume belonged to a certain Johannes Wyspach (Weißbach) "<sub rasura:> Johannes Wyspach est possessor huius liber (!) quis venit et non ite? dat non facit ????" (front flyleaf recto). There are several places called Weißbach in Germany. The volume belonged to a Jesuit community s. XVII ("Soc. Jesu", title page). 

    The volume is attested in Transylvania in the 19th c. It was owned by "Kis Kadácsi - Simén Domokos" (stamp, f. 1r). Simén Domokos (1836-1878)  was a Unitarian theologian who also taught in Cluj. The book subsequently entered the library of the Unitarian college of Cluj.
