Origin and Provenance

Written doubtless in England. The fragments were recovered from the printed book with the press-mark Tz 129 (Vocabularius Breviloquus, Basel, 1478), which belonged in 1628 to the Jesuit College in Freiburg im Breisgau. Later acquired by Johann Jakob Simmler, whose library came to the Zürich Stadtbibliothek.

Script Commentary

Script is Anglo-Saxon minuscule: d and s have two forms; e often rises above the line; the shoulder of r descends to the line and the letter is easily mistaken for n. A liturgical entry saec. XV–XVI is seen on the verso.
