Written in the northeastern Netherlands, to judge from the Ripuarian linguistic elements in the text.

XV, on f. 234v, "dijt boeck hort tw inden mergaerd ende voert gemeijn susteren" and, in the same hand, "Mechtel pijls" (crossed out and rewritten); s. XVIII, "L. Lambertus Sillekens"; f. 234, s. XIX, "Gerardus Simons [?] hoort dit boek toe. Die het vint geeft het weederom ende sie't niet en Doet hie zal __?___ Bidden Nun 1831." Belonged to Henry William Poor (1844-1915), with his red morocco ex libris on f. i; his sale, Anderson, New York, 12 January 1909, pt. III, n. 766. Apparently acquired by Henry E. Huntington at that time.
