NoteFirst exlibris on f.1r: "Est sancti Simpliciani de Mediolano. Second exlibris on f.261r: "Istud volume est mon. Scti Simpliciani de Mediolano". The ownership inscription at the end of the tabula as well as the end of the one on the f.261r have been erased by the monks of Simpliciano, suggesting a previous ownership.
Method of acquisitionunknown
Binding note16th century vellum binding on wooden boards, 3-banded spine with manuscript titling on the first compartment (evidence of the title and date). Underneath has been written an old Columbia call number: "E40 A76". The spine is falling apart. Black inscription in the top left corner that couldn't be read. Titling on the edges, “Cronic. Suplem.” on the tail and “Cronici. Philip Berg.” on the head.
Could have been an original binding at first sight, but the observation of the margins shows that they have been significantly cropped, cutting some of the inscriptions (vertically and horizontally). Boards reinforced by parchment and paper leaves from medieval manuscripts (legal text?) and early printed books.
Binding date16th cent.
