From the inscription in the contemporary hand (on the recto of the front endleaf) the book appears to have been originally bound with a copy of Thomas Aquinas, Compendium Theologicae Veritatis.
A few marginal notes in a contemporary hand, correcting the text and supplying one pointing hand. ‘ccc l folia' in the hand of Johannes Bresslauer on recto of front endleaf.
Some initials coloured, and capital strokes and underlining of headings supplied in red.
Provenance: Johannes Bresslauer (fl. 1489); ‘Ego Johannes Presslawer percepi hūc librum ab honorabili d[omino] Jeorgio Hagnawer | item pl[e]bano S[ancti] Sp[iritu]s [ ] ocasion[e] ex e[cc]lesie suae alt[ ]e ɂa[ ]lū is anno 1489 | Sibi librum de uita Xpisti' on recto of front endleaf. ‘ccc l folia' in the hand of Johannes Bresslauer on the same page would seem to indicate that the book was formerly bound with another item (the Vita Christi mentioned in Bresslauer's inscription). Munich, Franciscan Observants, S. Antonius de Padua; ‘Monachij ad P.P. Franciscanos pro bibl.' in a seventeenth-century German hand on [*1r]; shelfmark ‘M.5' on the recto of the front endleaf. Duplicate from the Royal Library, Munich; ‘Duplum No. 1736 n.1' and ‘69' in pencil on [*1r]; ‘Inc. typ. Monast. 1736', ‘89' and ‘69' on front endleaf. Acquired between 1847 and c.1892, probably in 1850; not in Catalogus (1843) with Appendix.
