Notes

Provenance
Fragment contains several annotations, in five different later hands, across fol. [2]v: 'Aiuuaille, Compte de l’an 1640', 'Aywaille', '4980', 'XII sec'. The fragment was thus possibly used as a cover for registers in regard to the town of Aywaille (Province of Liège) for the year 1640.
