Bibliographic Evidence
NoteAn inscription on the front paste-down has been erased and partly destroyed; the portion of script that is still visible, however, looks close to the hand who wrote the note on the piece of paper and possibly also inscription on a2v and at the end of the book. The latter, though, is written in cursive hand, it reads: 'Das p[ue]ch geh[oe]rt in das closter z[ue] dem hailligen Cre[ue]cz in Regenspurg prediger orde[n]s' (all diphtongs written with umlaut) (see also transcription in BMC).
It is not known when exactly the book left the monastery.
