History

Provenance

The manuscript may have belonged to the Franciscan convent in Cluj, erected c. 1486-1516. The book may have ended up in the library of the Jesuit College, which occupied the premises of the former Franciscan convent in 1581-1605. In 1603, the Jesuit Collge was plundered by the Unitarians. The Unitarians may have used the large psalter as maculature in the following years.

The host book belonged to Valentinus Radecius/Walenty Radecy, who inscribed his name on the frontispiece ("Valentini Radecy").

"Valentinus Radecius (? –1632) was a Unitarian priest of Polish descent. He was born in Gdańsk, studied in Raków, was a schoolmaster in Lusławice, then a Unitarian rector in Cluj [from 1605], a pastor from 1607, and a Unitarian bishop of Transylvania from 1616 until his death.” (Sándor Előd Ősz, Bibliotheca Calviniana Transylvanica.
