Jeffery & Yates, Descriptive inventories: Austrian libraries, v. 2, p. 286-287
Notes:
The first text was possibly written in Italy early in the 15c, certainly before 1472 when the manuscript was bought by Abbot Gaspar. As the author Antonius Luscus lived till 1447 (Cosenza 3, 2030), this may be one of the oldest MSS for the first text.
Provenance:
Ownership notes: Liber monasterii montis S. Georgii quam Dominus Gaspar comparavit anno 1472 (inside back cover per typewritten catalog); Ad Bibliothecam Monasterii Montis S. Georgii 1659 (on fol. 1r and 23r).
