s. XV2 (f. 120r-170r and 198v-199v were copied in 1488, see below; almanach for 1491 f. 233r-236v; other sections are older or based on older material, cf. e.g. the prognostication for 1455 f. 106r-109v, and several references to the years 1440s and even to the 14th c. in the computus and astronomical sections.
Or.:some sections were copied by Crux of Telč (d. 1504), at least partly at the monastery of Trěboň in Bohemia, cf. f. 170r: ‘Explicit almanach perpetuum septem planetarum per me fratrem Crucem de Telcz professum in Trzebon sub abbate domino Marco anno 1488 in vigilia sancti Iohannis Baptiste, eodem tempore Agnes virgo dominorum de Rosib. infirmabatur… et post tertio die in meridie defuncta est…’, and f. 199v: ‘Expliciunt excerpta cum tabulis de compoto Iudaico, finita per me Crucem de Telcz, feria post Lamberti in Witignaro (?) anno domini 1488, Marco abbate’; astronomical tables for Prague f. 104v and 223v-227r; f. 45r-53r are copied ‘per me Stephanum de Scheibs’ (f. 53r).
Prov.:the MS belonged to Petr Vok of Rosenberg [Rožmberk] in 1609 (cf. ex-libris f. 309r: ‘Ex bibliotheca illustrissimi principis domini domini Petri Vok, Ursini domini domus a Rosenberg ultimi et senioris et e primatibus Bohemorum celsissimi et antiquis anno Christi 1609’) and it is likely that it had been the property of the Rosenberg family for a long time, for the prognostication for 1455 (f. 106r-109v) is addressed to Ulrich II of Rosenberg (d. 1462), and Crux of Telč reports, in his colophon of 1488 f. 170r (see above), that Agnes of Rosenberg fell sick and died. On Crux of Telč and his MSS, see L. Doležalová, ‘Personal Multiple-Text Manuscripts in Late Medieval Central Europe: The ‘Library’ of Crux of Telč (1434-1504)’, in The Emergence of Multiple-Text Manuscripts, eds A. Bausi, M.
