Notes

Provenance
Fragment was kept at Park Abbey, and used as a binder for visitation reports and records regarding the general Premonstratensian chapters, between 1502 and 1670.

16th-century annotations on both fol. [1] and [2] refer to this purpose. For instance, fol. [2]v has the annotation 'Diversa extracta ex diversis capitulis generalibus Ordinis Premonstrensis et alique Visitationes'.
