• Northern gothica textualis (s. XV)
• Later additions (s. XVI) (cf. provenance below)

Antwerp, Rijksarchief te Antwerpen, Verzameling Losse Aanwinsten, nr. 2.38-2.39 are, presumably, remnants of the same manuscript.

Medieval foliation on the verso side

Initials (red, blue), versals (red), rubrics (red), colour stroking (red)

The rectoside contains a large inscription, a later addition, in brownish ink: "1597 MALOYS".

According to a note in the folder in which the fragment is kept, the fragment originates from the house archive of the noble family de Menten de Horne and their ancestors (15th-19th century). It was probably removed from its host volume when the archive was donated to the State Archives of Antwerp (Rijksarchief te Antwerpen). The archive of the family de Menten de Horne contains several records concerning arrangements with the court of Maloys (see below).

Antwerp, Rijksarchief te Antwerpen, Verzameling Losse Aanwinsten, nr. 2.39 contains a similar inscription: "het hof va(n) Maloys" (fol. 1r)

The fragment probably functioned as a cover (or a wrapper), but has been removed from its host volume. The host volume must be sought in the house archive of the noble family de Menten de Horne and their ancestors (15th-19th century): Antwerp, Rijksarchief te Antwerpen, FA De Menten De Horne.

As mentioned above, this archive contains several records concerning arrangements with the court of Maloys (cf. provenance), see: Inventory of the archives donated by the family de Menten de Horne
