- Item donated to Knox College by Harriet Robbins Moses (1888-1973) of Salina, KS as part of a bequest through her estate in 1973. Moses graduated from Knox College in 1912.8
- Item from the donation of Edward (1861-1949) and Lucy Smith Morse Caldwell (1864-1941), acquired in 1953. The Caldwells graduated from Knox in 1886.4
- One of the ten items in the St. Olaf Paleography Teaching Collection, acquired in 2019.2
- Purchased by the Art Department of DePauw University in the 1960s from the Ferdinand Roten Gallery.2
- Anonymous gift on 12/30/1991. Accessioned 12/15/1992.1
- Formerly in the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (an inscription on the first leaf reads "Phillipps ms. 699"). An inscription ("Fr. President Frost") on recto of the front flyleaf indicates that this volume was once owned by William Goodell Frost, the President of Berea College between 1890-1920. A note on the verso of the flyleaf additionally reads, "14th century manuscript from a monastery near Cologne, Germany. Purchased from Bull and Auvache, London, 1910." It seems likely that William Frost purchased this volume in 1910 and later donated it to Berea before or upon his death in 1938.1
- Gift of former Professor of Art and Art History Catherine E. Fruhan (1948-2015) to DePauw University in 2015. Fruhan reported that she purchased this leaf in Paris.1
- In the opening pen-flourished initials, an early seventeenth-century owner of this codex added his or her initials in brown ink, writing "H. P. M. 1600." Donated to Earlham College by Hugh S. Barbour. This donation was appraised for tax purposes on August 5, 1972 by George S. MacManus Co. (1317 Irving Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107), and it is assumed that the codex entered into Earlham's collection shortly thereafter.1
- Item donated to Knox College by Harriet Robbins Moses (1888-1973) of Salina, KS as part of a bequest through her estate in 1973. Moses graduated from Knox College in 1912. In the lower right margin of the verso, the date 6-12-46 has been written in pencil, suggesting that the original codex might have been broken around that year. In the lower left margin, the same hand has marked this leaf as "J 26." Along the bottom margin is a modern pencil annotation reading "1425 AD Sienna Antiphonal."1
- One of the ten items in the St. Olaf Paleography Teaching Collection, acquired in 2019. On the recto, a modern hand has noted in pencil "20543" in the bottom outer margin.1
- One of three manuscript leaves gifted to Earlham College in the 1920s and 1930s by Ruby Davis, a longtime English professor who specialized in medieval literature. No information known regarding where she obtained these leaves.1

- That volume is signed on the title page by Johann Albert Fabricius (1668-1736) in 1706. Fabricius was a German classical scholar and prominent bibliographer. He was a professor of ethics and rhetoric in Hamburg from 1699 until his death, and he also served as the librarian to Johann Friedrich Mayer (1650-1712), a pominent Lutheran theologian in Wittenberg and Hamburg. Fabricius is credited with having written over 100 works, including the Bibliotheca Graeca and the Bibliotheca Latina. Presented to St. Xavier College by N. R. Thomas Roche Butler (Covington, KY) on Dec. 27th, 1868, and recorded on the title page in an inscription. An inscription on the verso of the title page in a late fifteenth- or early sixteenth-century hand was added by Margarete Kettelrandes, a nun who states that she received the book from her father.1
- The fragment is used as a cover for Leo, Marquardus. Enumeratio methodica et compendiosa selectissimorum et omni exceptione malorum scriptorum. Ingolstadil: Excudebat Andreas Angermarius, 1609. Prior shelfmark on spine: E . 188. A second shelfmark (E 193), written in red crayon, on the inside of the front cover. Manuscript inscription on the title page "Cart. Buxh.." indicates the volume was once in the library of the Charterhous Buxheim. Large portions of that library were auctioned off in 1883 and resold in various catalogs by Ludwig Rosenthal and Jacques Rosenthal. A pencil notation on the recto of the front flyleaf reads: "8^o [octavo] 2269." Also on that leaf in pencil is another possible shelfmark: "M.5932. Leo." Thanks to Joe Springer (Goshen College) for his research on this item's provenance. The item was in Goshen's collection by March 11, 1982.1
