The quire numbers

[MarcoP]

Thank you, Arca! I think that identifying individual owners is maybe too ambitious, but these numbers might tell us something about where the ms was a few decades after its creation.

Years ago, Darren Worley pointed out to me a series of 2012 posts by Thomas Sauvaget:

In the first post, the author discusses numbers (not "quire" numbers) from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Please read his posts for additional details.
The match for 'primus' with the open-top 'p' looks particularly good.
As Sauvaget writes, the ms is dated 1459 and was probably written in St.Gall (where it still is). But the numbers appear in an index that was added by a later hand.
