    Origin: Fols. 1-90 were written in Fabriano, Italy by a certain William who belonged to the same religious order as James of Viterbo (Ordo Eremitarum Sancti Augustini), 14th century (see fol. 90v). The scripts contained in fols. 91-121 are not typically Italian, and it is not known when the two manuscripts were first bound together.
