Fragment: 2 bifolia (trimmed). Most of the upper margins of both bifolia has been trimmed away. One leaf of each bifolia has been trimmed vertically as well, leading to half a column of text loss in both cases.
Fragments' earlier hosts
Both leaves were used as pastedowns in a register of the assizes of beer in the city of Antwerp kept between 12 May 1561 and 31 July of the same year ('Assijs boeck vande binnen bier assijse beginnende den xijte dach meije anno xvc lxj eindende den leesten dach Julius daer nae volgende'). This particular register was kept by controller Johannes Maechs.
A modern paper slip with the note '1561-1' is attached to the leaves with a string, referring to this origin.
Fragment also contain later-added annotations, such as pen flourishes on fol. [2]r and [2]v and added (checkerboard) patterns in the intercolumnar space of fol. [2]r.
Readers' annotations
Fragments also contain later-added annotations, such as pen flourishes on fol. [1]r and v and added (checkerboard) patterns in the intercolumnar space of fol. [1]r.
Provenance
Fol. [2]v also contains the inscription 'Joes maechs conterolleur' thrice. This refers to Johannes Maechs, a supervisor of the Antwerp beer assizes in the mid-16th century who wrote his name on several of the fragments that are now part of the FelixArchief collection.
