Provenance

  • Closely related to Venice, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Cod. Lat. 32, possibly serving as vorlage. Both contain Rev. extravagans 49. One of the scribes of this manuscript, Johannes de Almania, is mentioned in a note in Città del Vaticano, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Cod. Lat. Vat. 3826 (f. 118r) together with the Abbot Ypolitus. The Abbot Ypolitus of the monastery of S. Gerolamo di Quarto sulla Riviera (founded in 1382 by Alfonso of Jaén) outside Genoa apparently gave the manuscript to Johannes de Almania, who made a copy together with Ludovicus. Since not all revelations are contained in the Rome, it is not certain if it served as vorlage for the whole of the Venice manuscript or part of it (for more information, see: Bergh (ed.) 1967 (Rev. VII), pp. 37 f.).
