 The host volume belonged around 1500 to a Dominican friar from Sighișoara. The book may have been bound using maculature available in that city.  On the rear pastedown one can read the following obiit note: "Anno domini Mccccx[c]ix (1499) feria quarta ante festis Andree appostoli obiit venerabilis ac ??? vir Udalricus comes de Mans??? qui sepultus est in ???? in claustro monialium." The oldest attested owner wrote on Inc. C. 42a, f. A.ii recto: "Iste libellus procuratus est cura ac diligentia per fratrem Iohannem, Et post obitum suum pertinebit ad Segeszwar ad castrum ordinis predicatorum. Concessus est autem sibi ad vsum suum in eternum." In 1670, the book belonged to the Jesuit school of Cluj-Mănăștur: "Residentia Monostoriensis 1670" (title page of Inc. C. 42a); another ownership note on. f. A.ii verso confirms that in 1764 the book was still in the Jesuit library. In 1832 the book was at the successor of that institution, the Royal High School of Cluj (title page of Inc. C. 42a). Description by: Carmen Fenechiu & Adrian Papahagi (CODEX Centre, UBB), 2026
