HISTORY: A single quire of eight from the "Werden Glossary;' retrieved from bindings of at least two volumes (which are unidentified). For a full description of the make-up, history, and reconstruction of the manuscript see 484. This fragment contains part of the "Glossae Nominum:' These leaves were published by Ferdinand Deycks in 1854. With other medieval manuscripts and fragments at the abbey ofWerden, after the secularization of the monastery in 1803 they were transferred to the Landesbibliothek, Düsseldorf. These leaves were lent to Deycks for his use by the Diisseldorf archivist, T. J. Lacomblet, and after Deycks' death in 1867 the family refused to return them. They still had not been returned in 1877 (Crecelius 1877: 635-36). Their whereabouts were still unknown to Ker in 1957 (Cat., 483-84). According to Harlow (in Bischoff et al. 1988: 9-10) they came to light in the DiisseldorfUniversity Library just as EEMF 22 was at press (i.e., mid-1980s). They must have made their way back to the Diisseldorf city archives sometime between the late 1870s and the early 1970s; its medieval holdings were sent on permanent loan to the University Library in the mid- 1970s (cf. Karpp 1981).
