This manuscript was broken by biblioclast Otto Ege and was included in his Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts, Western Europe, XII-XVI Century (c. 1950). It is not known if this particular leaf is from a copy of Original Leaves that was broken and sold leaf-by-leaf (an ironic possibility) or if it is a leaf from the manuscript that was never included in a copy of Original Leaves.
