This manuscript was made in the Bavarian town of Neuberg by the scribe Georgius of Neuberg, who completed the work on Oct. 17, 1458. Although the book was written in Germany by a German scribe, the script and decoration are clearly influenced by the style of Italian manuscripts of the same period.
The original chain that affixed the book to its library shelf can be seen in this image.
