This manuscript with philosophical and theological content was
written by assorted hands on paper; the 5 codicological parts
contain 11 tracts by various 14th century authors, including 6
unique texts. The parts were produced between 1370 and 1410 and
were re-ordered various times before the codex was bound in its
current order, probably at the beginning of the 15th century in
Fribourg. One of the scribes, who was also the owner and redactor
of the volume, was Fredrich von Amberg (about 1350/60-1432), who
lived from 1393-1432 in the Franciscan cloister in Fribourg and
served two terms as guardian there. Friedrich was able to assemble
these copies of the texts by either copying or purchasing them
while studying in Strassburg, Paris, and Avignon.
