This fragment once formed part of a larger roll, of which six other fragments have been discovered in 2007 in the covers of various fifteenth-century municipal account books from Mechelen by Remco Sleiderink and Herman Mulder. The text preserved in these fragments is not known from any other witnesses and has been given the preliminary title 'Rol van Mechelen' ('The Mechelen Scroll'). The remaining fragments show a complex text, full of ambiguities, double entendre and implied associations based on the sound of words and names, which often defy the understanding of the modern reader. Sleiderink has suggested that the text belonged to the genre of dream literature, in which a first-person narrator describes bizarre dreams or visions that seem unintelligible but through which the authors lampoons the powerful or the state of contemporary society.
