Provenance

The manuscript was part of the Nieuwlicht archive until the dissolution of the monastery in 1580. In the 17th century the manuscript was owned by Gijsbert Lap van Waveren, a solicitor from Utrecht. He added the shorter version of the chronicle to the manuscript. After that it ended up in the provincial archives of Utrecht. The archive gave it to Petrus van Musschenbroek (1764-1823), who added it to his personal collection. In 1826, when this collection was sold, the English collector Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) obtained it, thus becoming part of the Cheltenham collection. After Philipps' death a large part of his collection was sold and in 1889 the manuscript returned to the provincial archives of Utrecht (currently Het Utrechts Archief).
