History

Provenance

Host volume was kept by St Peter's Abbey (Ghent) from the 12th century onwards. The volume was then kept by (a member of) the noble family Van der Heyden dit de la Bruyère from the 16th century onwards.

Host Volume

Title Hieronymus Stridonensis, <i>Commentarii in Ezechielem</i>
Date of Origin/Publication 11th century
Place of Origin/Publication possibly Flanders
Shelfmark Gent, Universiteitsbibliotheek Gent, HS.0169
Page/Folio Reference: fol. 1-232

Remarks

Current binding stems from 18th century. As the fragment is younger than its host volume, it can be assumed that the fragments were put together at a later date.
