HISTORY: Two bifolia, part of a dispersed glossary produced at Werden in the early 9c; for a full description of the history and reconstruction of the manuscript see 484. The Munich leaves, reused as binding materials in a manner similar in treatment to other "Werden" fragments released from bindings, were from an incunable, Boethius, De consolation philosphiae (Köln, Johann Koelhoffthe elder, 1488, [Bay. Staatsbibl. 2° Inc. c. a. 2021]), that had been in the possession of"Henricus Werdensis studens alme vniversitatis colonie" (see Bischoff et al. 1988: 22), identified as probably Henricus de Buderick who received his licenciate from Koln in 1508 and died as provost of Klaarwater in Gelderland in 1546 (Tiefenback 2006: 308). The volume was later part of the library of the Palatine Electors of Mannheim; the bookplate of Elector Karl Theodor ( 17 42-1777) is stuck on to f. 1 v. The royal library migrated to Munich in 1803.
