Provenance:
Written in Italy in the 14th century. Possibly Augustinian canon origin: Saint Augustine is singled out among the bishops and confessors as “Peter Augustine.” In the 18th century, codex belonged to Jehan de Montagu based on inscriptions on f. 54r and f. 96r. Notation in margins in pencil noting psalm chapters (modern, not vulgate). Obtained by Jean Roos from Otto F. Ege of Cleveland Ohio at an unknown date. Given to Western Michigan University by Jean Roos on 25th anniversary of the founding of WMU School of Librarianship in 1970.

Binding:
Bound in post-medieval limp vellum. Two parchment ties on the fore edge, now broken. Collation is erratic with numberous excisions and repairs to gatherings; the manuscript may have been made up originally of odds and ends of parchment, the situation being further confused by modern rebinding, loss of leaves, and probably excisions of illuminations.
