Germany Provenance and Acquisition
Adelheit, Hedwich and Matthilt: late 10th or 11th century inscription 'Adelheit. Hedwich. Matthilt curiales adulescentulę unum par .. amicitię' (fol. 112v; the Summary Catalogue read 'par sunt'). Claudia Villa, La 'lectura Terentii' (1984), 103ff, suggested these could be identified as Adelheid (Adelaide), d. 1043, daughter of Otto II and Theophanu, later abbess of Quelingburg (999), later of Gandersheim (1039); Matilda of Germany (d. 1025), founder of Brauweiler; and Hedwig of Swabia (d. 994). Villa further suggested that the manuscript may have once been at Gandersheim Abbey, where Otto II's daughters were educated. See also Constant J. Mews, The lost love letters of Heloise and Abelard (1999, second edition 2008), pp. 367–68 n. 119.
Augsburg, Nunnery of St Ursula (?): inscription 'Iste liber T. monasterij sanct............ augusta' (fol. 1r), read in the Summary Catalogue as 'monasterij sanct[e Ursule martyris in ??] augusta'.
Michael von Pfullendorf: inscription 'accomodatus M. Michaeli de Fullendorff secretarij[sic] domini Regis romanorum', c. 1450 (fol. 1r)
