Historie og herkomst
The manuscript was written in the monastery of Askaby in Östergötland, Sweden, at the end of the fifteenth century. The writing on fols 112v-114v, which were originally blank, was added some time in the sixteenth century.
In the bottom margin of fol. 115r the name „EBrenner“ is written. The name refers to the antiquarian Elias Brenner, at whose auction Árni Magnússon probably bought the manuscript.
