Current Condition

Dimensions 320 x 200 mm (leaf)
More about the Current Condition

All upper margins of the extant bifolia are trimmed. This has lead to text loss, with only fol. [5]-[6] having its full text preserved.

Fol. [2]v-[1]r and fol. [3]v-[4]r were probably glued together. The pages were removed from each other at an unknown date, and both pages are now almost illegible because of the remaining offset of the other page. 

Fol. [2]v-[1]r contain several 16th-century inscriptions: the name 'Dionys [.]ipelinck', as well as several probationes pennae: 'Amour [sic] vincit omnia / contra dicit pecunia', and 'Dominus Deus'.

Book Decoration and Musical Notation

Description

Host Volume

Title Register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp, starting from May 1656
Date of Origin/Publication May - possibly July 1565
Place of Origin/Publication Antwerp
Shelfmark Antwerpen, FelixArchief, T # 1462 ('1565-1')
Remarks

Fragments were used as flyleaves in a register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp for 1565 ('Assijsboeck vander binnen [bier] Assijse der sta[d] van Antwerpen beginnende den Jersten Mei anno 1565 Ende Eyndende den lesten J[...] d[aer n]ae v[...] eenen quartier Jaere'). This particular register was kept by an unknown controller.

The two bifolia that were glued together probably were used as the front pastedown, while fol. [3] was used as the back pastedown.

A paper leaf with the inscription '1565-1' was attached to the leaves with a string, referring to this origin.
