- This book appears to have been given to the Convent of St Ursula in Niederelten by a young lady called Stijnken Kispenninghe (Christina Kispenning). The convent was transferred in the seventeenth century to the convent of St Agnes in Emmerich.[1] Elten is now part of the town of Emmerich on the German-Dutch border.
- The book probably entered the Chapter Library in Canterbury in the nineteenth century following the closure of the convent of St Agnes and the dispersal of its library.
