Host Volume

Title Florus Lugdunensis, Defloratio epistolae ad Romanos et ad Corinthios I
Date of Origin/Publication ca. 1125-1175
Place of Origin/Publication Utrecht, St. Paul's Abbey
Shelfmark 2 A 9
Conditions of Deposit The host volume was probably rebound by St Paul's Abbey in the fifteenth century, the manuscript fragment was added (perhaps from a redundant manuscript from its own collection), and a mark of ownership was added: Liber monasterii sancti Pauli in Traiecto inferiori. Information about the content of the host volume and a remark 'pace euis pax sit' was added. In 1584 the books from St Paul's Abbey were confiscated by the protestant city council and put in the new city library, later the university library. Old shelfmarks and a printed catalogue description of Ms. 202 were added.
