History
England (?)
It is noted in University of Leeds legacy records that this leaf is removed from University of Leeds Libraries, Special Collections, Ripon Cathedral Library XVIII.F.17. The size of the fragment does not match the leaf size of the book exactly, and there is no material evidence tying this fragment to this book.
Host Volume
The binding of the book is repaired and a modern bifolium is added on each side of the text block, serving as endleaves.
