History

Origin

The manuscript appears to be a fourteenth-century Central European (Austrian?) product.

Provenance

Late nineteenth-century stamps reading "Erdélyi Múz<eum> Egye<sület> Könyvtára - Kézirattár" (Hungarian: "Library of the Transylvanian Museum Association - Manuscripts"). The Transylvanian Museum Association was established in 1859; its manuscripts and old books are now mainly in the Special Collections of the Central University Library, Cluj (BCU).
