Provenance: contemporary manuscript foliation through fol. 183, manuscript headlines to first ca. 40 and last ca. 5 leaves, scattered early marginalia, especially to 4/1r -- Brother Ludwig of Aachen, sacristan of a convent at Mechelen, purchased in 1484 for 30 florins: deleted inscription on 45/7r (Iste liber pertinet fratri Lodovico de Aquisgrano stationario conventus Mechliniae anno domini 1484 emptus pro xxx fl) -- Brother Henricus Paul, sacristan of a convent at Louvain, purchased in 1491 for 30 florins: deleted inscription on 45/7r (Custos huius libri est frater Henricus Paul[?] stationarius conventus Lovanii emptus pro xxx fl. anno domini Mccccxci) -- late 15th- or early 16th-century inscription on 45/7v partially obscured by the leaf of later paper pasted over it -- Rochefort (Belgium), Cistercian monastery of Saint-Rémy: rubricator's inscription on 45/7r (Pertinet monasterio dicto de sancto Remigio prope Rupemfortem situato).
Leonardo Mattei of Udine, a popular preacher in fifteenth-century Italy, left several collections of sermons which were reprinted many times in the incunable period. This edition of his sermons on the saints was one of four printed in 1473 and one of two printed by Ulrich Zel in that year. The 1473 editions were the first of this text, which went through more than a dozen later incunable editions. The inserted leaf in the present edition was supplied to remedy an error in composition; it contains 23 lines of text in each of two columns on the recto, and the verso is blank. This adjustment is not present in Zel's other 1743 edition (Goff L-151).
