History

Remarks

Fragments were used as bindings (wrappers?) for registers in the late 16th and early 17th century according to marginal annotations across the fragments. These registers were possibly kept at a parish church ('..des fabrikhoeder Parochis Kerke...'), according to a note on fragment B.

Marginal annotation (hand 3) on fragment a: “kellere pro a, 1571, 1572, 1573”. Marginal annotation (hand 4, 4 lines) on fragment b: “Rekeninge van uytgaeff Lakenscheijers aniers(?) genaempt  … als Rentmeester des fabrikhoeder Parochis Kerke wegens den nieuwen thoren vant iaer 1565”. Marginal annotations (hands 5 and 6) on fragment d: “Anno 1604” and “Cellaria pro 7 annis 1602 y 93 (?) 1608”. Marginal annotation (hand 5?) on fragment e: “pro capitulo 1605”. Marginal annotations (hand 5?) on fragment f: “1606” (3x), “1607”.
