Fragment: 2 leaves

Fragments' earlier hosts

Both leaves were used as pastedowns for a register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp kept between 1 August 1557 until 31 October of the same year ('Assijs boeck vander binnen bier assijse beginnende P[rima] augusti anno xv c lviij ende eijndende vltima october daer nae'). This particular register was kept by controller Johannes Maechs.

Notes

General
Fragments are a remnant of the same manuscript as Antwerpen, FelixArchief, 2201 # 23 (mmfc-13218). Another fragment from the same manuscript may be Antwerpen, Museum Plantin-Moretus, R 34.3 (pastedowns).
General
To each leaf a narrow stub from the conjoined leaf is still attached. The right side of fol. [1]r is torn and partially illegible.

The two leaves are tacketed together, with a slip of modern paper on which '1557-2' is written, probably a reference to the original document from which these leaves were removed (second register for the year 1577). 
Provenance
The upper margin of fol. [1]r contains the inscription 'Joos Maechs contrerolleur opte binnen bier assise', while the lower margin of the same leaf contains the inscriptions: 'Joos Maechs 1557' and 'Philippus par la grade de Dieu roy de France et d'Angleterre'.

Johannes Maechs was controller of the Antwerp beer assizes and the keeper/scribe of the host volume. He has written down his name on several fragments that are part of the FelixArchief's manuscript collection.
