Integrity
Fragment: The fragment consists of three loose bifolia. There is no text loss, despite the outer margins of fol. 75 and 78 being slightly trimmed.
Notes
Provenance
Fragments were presumably used as covers for fragment registers in the mid-17th century, as these contain inscriptions '1654' (on fol. 74r) and '1652' (on fol. 75r and 76r) are written in a seventeenth-century hand.
Provenance
On fol. 75r the name 'Adriaen Roecx' can be read in a 17th-century hand; it can thus be assumed this Adriaen Roecx was a previous owner of these fragments.
Another 17th-century provenance mark can be found on fol. 76r; however, this mark is hardly legible due to the ink having faded.
