s. XV1 (except for f. 405-415, from the late-14th c., 1399 for f. 414-415; the MS as a whole is often dated to the 14th c., but wrongly so).
Or.:University of Cracow. F. 414v-415r are in the hand of Johannes de Saccis of Pavia (d. 1433/1434), who became rector of the University of Cracow in 1425 and dean of the faculty of medicine in 1432/1433. He may be responsible, perhaps together with Andreas Grzymala (see Prov.), for assembling the MS.
Prov.:Andreas Grzymala of Poznań, student of Johannes de Saccis and professor at the University of Cracow (d. 1466), cf. Iv: ‘Magistri An<dree> Grzimala venalis pro 4 florenis, adminus pro tribus’ and table of contents of the MS in the same hand; Jan Oswiecim, professor of theology at the University of Cracow (d. 1488), who bequeathed the MS to the university, cf. f. Iv: ‘Legatus per magistrum Iohannem de Oszwyaczym, professorem sacre theologie et custodem sancti Floriani pro libraria artistarum maioris domus eorundem’.
