More about the Current Condition

All leaves are trimmed. Fol. [1] only misses part of its lower margin, while fol. [2] and [4] were completely trimmed in half. Fol. [3] was also trimmed in its lower margin, but also misses a large part of its upper outer margin.

Fragments contain several annotations by later readers, such as manicula and pen drawings. Fol. [3]r, for instance, contains a fanciful head, as well as a doodle inspired by the medieval illumination right next to it.

Ornamental penwork borders in red and blue ink (fol. [1] and [4]). Pen-flourished plain initials, alternately in red and blue ink. Paraphs alternately in red and blue ink. Red rubrication.

Host Volume

Title Register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp, for February 1570 - April 1571
Date of Origin/Publication 1 February 1570 - 30 April 1571
Place of Origin/Publication Antwerp
Shelfmark Antwerpen, FelixArchief, T # 1481 ('1570-71')
Persons Pieter de Neese (supervisor of the beer assizes at Antwerp, scribe/keep of host volume)
Conditions of Deposit Backside of the volume is covered in mold. As fol. [3] and [4] are covered in similar patterns of mold, they were probably used as flyleaves in the back.
Remarks

The fragments were used as flyleaves in a register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp kept between 1 February 1570 and 30 April 1571 ('Assijsboeck vande binnenbier assijs der stadt van Antwerpen onder tstadth[...] beginnende Prima february 1570 [...] Ende eyndende vltima apriliz 1571').

The volume was kept by Pieter de Neese. De Neese also probably added the pen drawings to the fragments, as other registers kept by De Neese contain similar drawings.

A paper label with the note '1570-71' is attached to the bifolium, referring to this origin.
