Notes, written on a flyleaf of a manuscript, also a Middledutch book of hours, kept in the University Library Leiden, LTK 299, and LTK 222, 325, and 342, are similar tot the title description written on the strip on the front flyleaf of this manuscript. All are from the Van Winter collection (cf. G. I. Lieftinck, Codicum in finibus Belgarum ante annum 1550 conscriptorum qui in Bibliotheca Universitatis asservantur. Pars I: Codices 168-360 societatis cui nomen Maatschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkunde. Codices Manuscripti V (1948), p. 116). Donated to the Utrecht University Library by Anne, Fokke and Marc Gerritsen, the three children of Prof. Wim Gerritsen (1935-2019), professor of medieval Dutch literature, and Gisela Gerritsen-Geywitz (1934-2023), in April 2024 as part of the archival and book collections of both their parents, which were also transferred to the University Library Utrecht at that time. The manuscript had been bequeathed to Gisela Gerritsen-Geywitz by Peter Gumbert (1936-2016), professor of Western paleography and handwriting at Leiden. Prof. Gumbert got it in or after December 2005 from Lucienne Habets of auction house Beijers in Utrecht, where it had been for years; its provenance was otherwise unknown.
