A fragment from the same manuscript was used as a pastedown in Brugge, Grootseminarie, Ms. 120/159. Both host volumes contain a part of the same text (the Vita Christi by Ludolphus de Saxonia) and were created around the same time in the Abbey of Ter Doest. Another manuscript from Ter Doest with two more fragments of the same manuscript is Brugge, Openbare Bibliotheek, Ms. 13.
