According to the description, the ms was written in Germany in the second half of the 14th Century. 
The ms has several interesting aspects. For instance:

• the colors are particularly varied (usually, not much nature-like)
  
• several scenes represent castles with swallowtail merlons (are these common in German manuscripts?)
  
• many plants feature zoomorphic or anthropomorphic elements (more than in other copies of Pseudo-Apuleius, I think)
  
• some of the roots seem comparable with the hollow or "flat-top" roots in the VMS
  

Browsing through this is a real pleasure! Many thanks to Rene
