      msNote: 'Brief notations at bottom of 113r, 123r and 133r, partially trimmed off.  These are not catch words, but they seem to mark the beginnings of new gatherings, all of which are 10 leaves.  '

        Likely to have been in a Bavarian monastery because of duplication notes that indicate that the book passed through the Bavarian State Library in the early 19th century.  
        Handwritten foliation in dark brown ink, beginning with 88 on a2r, and continuing through 148.  Foliation suggests that the book was once bound with another text.
