Composite of several originally separate fascicles copied at different times by different scribes. Copied by two main scribes (one identified by Jas, but not CCM, as de Blauwe), with later additions by several scribes, including Johannes Flamingus; some of the scribal hands also appear in LeidGA 1441 and LeidGA 1442. Main corpus perhaps copied in Brussels (though Jas argues for Leiden, and RISM suggests Amsterdam); later used by St. Peter's Church in Leiden, where additions were made. Subsequent history same as for LeidGA 1438.
