Probably copied by Ludwig Senfl, with later restorations by Lucas Wagenrieder (BenteNW); see general index for other manuscripts copied by the same scribes. Some pieces in main corpus in a different script (perhaps the work of a second, unidentified scribe, or perhaps a variant form of Senfl's hand). Presumably copied in Vienna, for use by the imperial court chapel of Maximilian I (1459-1519). Probably taken to Munich by Ludwig Senfl c. 1523, when he began serving at the court chapel of Wilhelm IV, Duke of Bavaria (1493-1550). At Munich, fascicles assembled in present order, several lost folios replaced with newly copied leaves, and volume bound in present covers.
