Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from cover; date from Zacour-Hirsch and comparison to Ms. Codex 971.
   
• On the cover, in a different ink from the title, is a statement of responsibility: à Fratre Violae Crucis, Gamaliele. Based on this note, Zacour-Hirsch suggests this may be the work of Jakob Hermann Obereit, who according to the Deutscher Gesamtkatalog used the pseudonym Abaris Gamaliel, even though the work is not mentioned in Bertold Zehme's Jakob Hermann Obereit (Lindau, 1920). This manuscript is on the same paper and in the same hand as Ms. Codex 972, which uses the name Abaris.
