History

Origin

Central European, probably from the Northern area of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary (around Trnava?).
Provenance

Jesuit College of Trnava (Lat. Tyrnavia), now in Slovakia. 
Persons and Institutions The manuscript belonged to, and was probably copied by/for Franciscus Kecskés: ‘Magistri Francisci Kecskés Societatis IESV' (front pastedown, s. XVIIex). On f. iir, another hand wrote: 'Logica R. P. Gotthardi Gelb è S. J. Tyrnaviæ'. Gotthard Gelb taught Logic in Trnava in the academic year 1696/1697.
Remarks

The book belonged to a student of Cluj who studied at the Jesuit College of Trnava at the end of the seventeenth century. The Hebrew and Latin manuscripts used in the binding of the early modern book were probably maculated in Trnava.
